James, I just finished watching A Pilgrim's Journey. Of all the Camino videos I have watched, yours does the best to capture the elements of humanity and community. The friends you made, for a time, became my friends too. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for sharing your experience with us.
One of the best Camino films Ive seen. A really good balance of all the elements. I love all the walk throughs of the Alburques as you were finding your bed each evening. Also, that both Margaret and James said essentially the same thing, if you find yourself watching this and thinking you want to, or must do it, then you should. It is calling you. There is a reason.
Such a special journey I did with my father. Such a struggle walking so far everyday, my bones ached my feet were covered in blisters but I'd do it again in a drop of a hat.
This is my fourth time watching is my favourite Camino documentary. Finished my Camino this summer, four trips over two years. Returning to walk Finisterre to Muxia in the Autumn.
This documentary gives you a good impression what you will experience by walking the camino F. It brings back all those special moments in a split second. The landscape....astonishing in it's beauty 😘 And...... on top of the world we hung out Tibetans flags so that the wind will carry the words of love and spread them over the world...
I just walked it in April and May 2016. It was sooooo much wetter! I was glad of my water proof Keens and green poncho. I have held on to the peace I found on the Camino and find I am much less reactive. It gave me a much better perspective on my life and my friends. If the Camino calls you, answer it! You will be so glad you did.
This is wonderfully done! It seems like only yesterday I was there. I walked between 17th September 2013 & 1st November 2013. Made it to Finisterre. Walked the beach. Watched the Atlantic. Some of that shoulder time was getting to the start & home. 5 weeks - 500 miles. Before I knew it, back in the USA. Watching your wonderfully true video I felt that the Camino was exactly where I belong. Buen Camino, peregrinos!!!!!!!
I’ve seen many films/documentaries about people’s travels on the Camino and yours is the best by far. I found it informative, funny & touching all at the same time - I felt part of your inner ‘triangle’. Thanks again!
Thanks so much for this huge labour of love, Jamie! I did the Norte this past summer, and I miss the Camino everyday. I watched this film for the first time last year when I first started planning and I've watched it three or four times since. I've watched clips since getting back just to deal with some of the Camino-sickness that strikes every now and again. The Norte is different in so many ways, but in others it is exactly the same. The relationships and the people for the the most part.
Watched your entire Camino video in bits over a couple of days and was blown away by the enthusiasm and joy you all put into it. Very inspirational and Its another reason as I retire at 65 years old to attempt my first Camino later this year . Thank you ever so much . Paul
This is one of the best videos on the Camino I could find. Most of them are disturbed by irritating background music, which makes it impossible to experience the atmosphere of the trip and to listen to spoken word. No music at all, would be the best. I know how difficult it is to make a good documentary on your own, without a videocrew, so I give you my compliments.
I walked the part through Galacia as a 64 year old in 2013. The best thing I ever did for myself. I long to go back but not sure I could make it a my age even though I am still healthy and able bodied. I watched the entire video but really enjoyed that last part. All the best to you and I hope you are doing well. Loved your stories and sharing of the friendships you made. Blessings! Bien Camino!
I think, of all the personal vids I've seen, yours captures the space, the time, the slowness of the travel, and allows there to be the feeling of the pace, the walking pace. It's very nice! thanks for sharing it :)
I am not sure you are still reading the comments but this is one of the best Camino documentaries I have ever watched. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. ❤
Jamie, you had an amazing Camino, thx for sharing, I am from Mexico and have done the Camino 4 times, 1st from Sarria 2012, 2nd from León 2013, 3rd from St Jean 2015 with my 24 year old son, 4th from St Jean 2017 with my 27 year old daughter and this year I am doing it again from St Jean with my 21 year old daughter, every time is a different and an amazing experience, ¡un abrazo y Buen Camino de la vida!
Federico Barrio oiga una pregunta tengo el deseo de hacer el camino pero devera decirle no se que tipo de preparaciones debería hacer en respecto, tal vez me pudiera dar sugerencias?
Thank you, Jamie! I just discovered this and I think you did a great job. I want to walk The Camino, but if I never get to walk it, I can watch this and walk back and forth in front of my TV for a "virtual Camino" experience. But if I DO get to go -- this is beautifully informative -- especially about the albergues and the foods (and the showers) and weather and wear and tear on the feet and waterproof boots.
Beautiful in so many ways...the scenery...the honesty...the commitment to filming with a simple outlook. Thank you for sharing your journey mate! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙🤙
As I'm watching this video, I felt I'm with them, feeling the blister of my feet, heat from the sun and sometimes soaked in the rain. I really appreciated how the pilgrims bonded with each other and sharing their personal stories. For years I have been traveling with pilgrims to Israel , Italy and my recent trip last May was in Portugal, Spain and France. Looking forward to continue my journey this year and years to come which is very exciting and at the same time educational .
Great video Jamie. Shows the personal side of the Camino I think. My wife and I are planning on doing the Camino in June of this year. Excited and nervous at the same time. Maybe we'll see some of you out there.
Hey brother. I've been home from Santiago for almost a year. Well...most of me is home. My heart is still out there on the Camino. Often that keeps me awake at night. When it does I look for reminders of what life was like out there on the trail. There are bunches of memories to be found out here on the internet. But none better captured that wonderful place than this film. Watching it before bed is like a warm embrace from a long lost family member. Good job man! Thank you!
Thank you all for your lovely comments - I am making a new documentary at the moment about healing and compisition, about pianist and composer hope to release it in. Spring 🙏😀
What a wonderful film.i am beginning my Camino on may 30.this film has removed any doubts and worries I had.thankyou to everyone involved in this movie for that.
Jamie, Thank you for making this video!! It was a great experience and I am glad I met you there at the end. If, by chance, you still have the video of me singing I would love to see it! Lydia
I walked from Leon in Sept 2016. My heart is still there and this was a great video. Thank you for putting it together -- you truly captured the spirit of the Camino.
..thank you for this beautiful movie, I love how you can see the changes in all of you, just pure and beautiful people.....I just decided few weeks ago to walk the camino, I´m taking my 16 year old with me and I can´t wait ...just going to be well prepared...I´m from Iceland so we have lot of hills and mountains to practice on :) thanx again
Great video on the Camino, I will be taking my second journey this year in May 2016. To answer why we do it a second time, watch this film of the Camino. We do it for the pain, the adventure, and the journey. We missed a lot on our first journey last year. This year I will take my time and smell the roses. Buen Camino , thanks for the video
I discovered this journey ast year and am continually drawn to it. I find myself in search of something spiritually and I feel this may help somewhat. Thank you so much for posting this and allowing those of us who are thinking about this an insight into how it affects different people. I like the friendship and community side of it...what else do we have if we can't connect to others sharing this amazing journey of life? I need to do this.
Have walked twice in the last 2 years and your video is a great reminder for me of the way, the camerarderie , the people .. it all and also it will really help those who are watching and wondering about going !! Thanks Jamie and all who are in the vid !!
A sincere thanks to you for sharing your personal experiences on your Camino I'm in the midst of planning my Camino and am feeling stronger to successfully completing my Camino based on your walk. Yes, the background music did muffle the dialogue at times, but the messages from the serene, happy faces of those talking came through. Beautifully done ~
The two times I've been was in the month of May, you do get rain, but in most part the weather is very pleasant. I've heard it gets too hot in to June and July. Waves of people come and go and since both times I was there the same month I do not know how busy it is other months, sorry. That's only my experience.
Congratulations on your brilliant coverage of walking the Camino Frances.....I know what effort it is to take photos - let alone videos as you cover so much.....the sights, the sounds, the nationalities and different languages, the food, the drink, the highs, the lows etc....... Thank you so much for putting it together with music so well and taking me again on my walk on the Way - returned last Tuesday. I have Parkinsons Disease at 58yrs and found it a challenge this time - my first Camino was in 2013 from SJPdP to Burgos and this time I walked solo with my backpack from Astorga to Santiago de Compostela. Are you going back to do another Camino....Im planning my next one already!! With grateful thanks from JHB South Africa!! xo
A very nice video, I enjoyed it a lot, A very nice shots, points of view, nice to see, your progress all along the way, and nice to see you all to arrive to Santiago de Compostela!!!! Congratulations, Buen Camino!!!
Thank U Jamie!!! After Easter I plan to walk my El Camino ... I am profesor of Spanish language, I have read and saw alot of books and videos, BUT THIS REALLY MOVED ME. Big hug for U, my bepolar friend, my dear father was as well. Bleasings, Daniela
This has been a very physical, emotional and spiritual journey Jamie and for me who watched the film. Thank you for sharing your journey. I hope I could find the courage to walk the camino. Best!!!
Jamie, if I could reach your hand I'd shake it sir... I loved your video it's very well done :-) I enjoyed the whole 2hrs... Great Job Well Done... I walked my first complete Camino in 2012 in 28 day but feel as though I missed so much and I miss that feeling of being carefree... so I walk again in 2015 from Pamplona to Burgos and will be returing to walk from Burgos to Leon in 2018... Yes I have the pull to return... Regards Bryan
I really enjoyed your video, this was the first one that I watched all the way to the end. I am doing "El Camino De Santiago, the French one" next year. I can't wait for it. You have done a great work!
Except for the music background issues addressed by others, I thought this was the beat Camino video. Afterwards, however, I “experienced” the Camino through the series by the Alaskan Pilgrim which I highly recommend as well.
Jamie, I walked the Camino last year with my brother and we did it in 33 days. I feel that was too fast and hard on me and it effected in that I was too tired to video or photograph this amazing trip(well, as much as I would have like). You showed the essence of the camino, with your video and photographs. Thank you for taking the time in doing this. We stayed in a lot of the same places you did, which was fun to see. Great job, your a gifted videographer. buen camino, Bill Honan
james what a,film/,has been so great to see u,do this walk and u,were so brave to share yr by-polar feelings,this film of yours has made me go into training to do this walk ,what u have shown us is so humble and great,if u decide to do it again mcall me best wishes Finbarr
Really enjoyed your story and video. Thank you for sharing. I'm 50 this year, living a great life, and wanting to mark the big birthday with something exceptional and solo. Camino might be the answer, at least part of it. I may do 300km from Leon. I've enjoyed 125km on the French trail St. Jacques starting at Le Puy en Velay and may just start up where I left off there and continue too. Must decide soon as I'd like to do it in September if I do it. Your video danced through my head overnight after I finished watching, helping me figure out what I should plan..... Thanks again and all the best to you.
This video reminds me the beautiful days(and terrible blisters)when I was on the Camino. It’s already 6years ago, but still sticking my heart all the time. Thank you for making beautiful Video.!!
Awesome, thank you. I will be walking the Camino this August/September 2019. Only criticism is the videos music is so loud that its often difficult to hear what you and others are saying. Overall loved it.
This has been the most uplifting and enjoyable film that i've seen on RUclips.You notice Jamie when you got into Galicia that the whole vibe and look changed and resembled our Celtic lands,after all they do say that the western side of the British isles share the same DNA as the Celtic Galicians,and you can see it.Thank you for uploading your travels.We are all pilgrims on the road.
I love this video. I have watched it a few times now and still like the whole journey it takes you on. I have been planning on doing this trip for a long while and now I have the chance to do it and this has helped to get a perfect view of what I might experience.
Great documentary. Really enjoyed it. Walked the Camino during the summer of 2015 and brought back some great memories. Thank You. For all those thinking of doing the Camino, do it you won't regret it.
Loved this mate! I have felt a pull towards the Camino the last couple of years and this documentary has been very helpful. Nice work, thank you. I am going to get booked up soon :)
Thanks everyone for the really nice comments, really glad you are all enjoying it. I did the walk in May 2015. For those who were curious - it is a really nice time of year to do it.
+jamie nicoll Thanks for the awesome video!! I am walking my first Camino starting May 1st, and this gave me a taste of what I have to look forward to. Out of curiosity, over how many days did you walk??
Now that I've finished the Camino, I love watching this and seeing all the places we stayed. Brings me right back to all the fun memories. Thanks so much for this.
Took me 37 days as well!!! Two rest days. I was soooo out of shape that I had to walk an average of 8-10 hrs EACH day to make it when most could do it in under 6 haha. I SHOULD have taken more than 37 days but I went with my much fitter sister. Each night she had to wait for me for three hours to catch up. The first day from St. Jean to Roncesvalles took me a whopping 14 hours! But in the end, 37 days wound being the average!
Near the beginning of your movie, you were eating Pizza and someone was BBQ ing Chicken...Was the Pizza good and Where was it? Also What towns had the Best Food on the Camino that you remember???
This was so beautiful Jamie. I walked it in 2013 and I always look out for the latest video memories. You'll hold it in your heart all of your life. Well done and thank you for this lovely movie.
I think it's one of the best videos I've seen about The Camino de Santiago, Camino Frances, told in a natural and honest way. Thank you. I follow you to see more videos. All tbe best.
Beautiful video! I've been planning to do the Camino for a few years now, and i really can't wait to do it, but while watching your video i felt like i was already there! I really love how you documented everything and you can get the real feel of the trip. Great job!
Good account James - you were about 10 days in front of of the guys I were walking. I noticed "London" Sarah in one of your shots at dinner. Sarah was with our group but had to bus a few hundred klm to get to Santiago on time. The only problem with the video was that I didn't see 1 Gin and Tonics on your whole trip! Brought back some great memories. Congratulations and well done!
Thanks a lot for sharing your impressions! I have been really desperate the last days and there has been a moment in this video that has helped me in particular to remind me of something i was loosing about...
Thanks Jamie for your wonderful journey posted on RUclips. I am going to do the Camino in the fall of 2019, about the same time I retire from my job here in Tucson, Arizona USA.
Thank you so much for sharing your own Camino. First read about it when I was in highschool, from Paulo Coelho's The Pilgrimage. Will now be in my 30s and I feel the right time is just around the corner. Fingers crossed will do it on or before the next great Jacobean year and when renovations of the Cathedral are done. Love watching Camino videos! Buen Camino!
Thank you so much Jamie for this amazing account and sharing of your experience! I'm heading out on the Camino Frances this September and it made me want to leave for it today! What a gift your sharing is.... so many beautiful insights.
Jaime, thanks for sharing your camino with us. Your footage (among others) has helped me decide to listen to that that quiet voice inside me telling me to go every someone talks about the Camino. I am hoping to do my first Camino later this year. There is clearly something very deep at work in all of us who are drawn to this experience. Maybe once I go I'll have a better understanding of what that is. But for now it is just a deep, calm knowing. Thanks again for sharing your experience.
Hey. Nice video. We walked the Camino during the same time. Don't remember you but i remember people from your video. Nice to see all these things once again.
James, I just finished watching A Pilgrim's Journey. Of all the Camino videos I have watched, yours does the best to capture the elements of humanity and community. The friends you made, for a time, became my friends too. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Bless the man tending El Camino as he walked.
One of the best Camino films Ive seen. A really good balance of all the elements. I love all the walk throughs of the Alburques as you were finding your bed each evening. Also, that both Margaret and James said essentially the same thing, if you find yourself watching this and thinking you want to, or must do it, then you should. It is calling you. There is a reason.
Such a special journey I did with my father. Such a struggle walking so far everyday, my bones ached my feet were covered in blisters but I'd do it again in a drop of a hat.
This is my fourth time watching is my favourite Camino documentary. Finished my Camino this summer, four trips over two years. Returning to walk Finisterre to Muxia in the Autumn.
One of the best videos of the Camino that you can find . This guy got it right.
This documentary gives you a good impression what you will experience by walking the camino F. It brings back all those special moments in a split second. The landscape....astonishing in it's beauty 😘
And...... on top of the world we hung out Tibetans flags so that the wind will carry the words of love and spread them over the world...
I just walked it in April and May 2016. It was sooooo much wetter! I was glad of my water proof Keens and green poncho. I have held on to the peace I found on the Camino and find I am much less reactive. It gave me a much better perspective on my life and my friends. If the Camino calls you, answer it! You will be so glad you did.
🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏
I hope I am called one day.
Quick question- I’m planning a April May Camino. Do I need gortex trail runners? I was planning on Hoka Walking shoes?
This is wonderfully done! It seems like only yesterday I was there. I walked between 17th September 2013 & 1st November 2013. Made it to Finisterre. Walked the beach. Watched the Atlantic. Some of that shoulder time was getting to the start & home. 5 weeks - 500 miles. Before I knew it, back in the USA. Watching your wonderfully true video I felt that the Camino was exactly where I belong. Buen Camino, peregrinos!!!!!!!
I’ve seen many films/documentaries about people’s travels on the Camino and yours is the best by far. I found it informative, funny & touching all at the same time - I felt part of your inner ‘triangle’. Thanks again!
Excellent watched 3x. Youve made a masterpiece James

Really enjoyed the film, I set off April 15th 2015 from SJPDP. So many wonderful memories .....

I think I've watched this 3 times now. I hope things return to normal in the next few years. It is calling me back.
Thank you all for your lovely comments - I am making a new documentary at the moment about healing and compisition, about pianist and composer hope to release it in. Spring 🙏😀
I really love this video of the Camino. I watched quite a few but this is the best. I would love to do the pilgrimage

I walked from Leon in Sept 2016. My heart is still there and this was a great video. Thank you for putting it together -- you truly captured the spirit of the Camino.
I wanted to do this spiritual experience for many years and this vedio helped me to decide and go and od it.
..thank you for this beautiful movie, I love how you can see the changes in all of you, just pure and beautiful people.....I just decided few weeks ago to walk the camino, I´m taking my 16 year old with me and I can´t wait ...just going to be well prepared...I´m from Iceland so we have lot of hills and mountains to practice on :) thanx again

Thank you for sharing your experience! It has inspired me to do it again, it will be my third time in 2019. Namaste!
What months do you recommend for doing El Camino? Best weather , less traffic, etc...
The two times I've been was in the month of May, you do get rain, but in most part the weather is very pleasant. I've heard it gets too hot in to June and July. Waves of people come and go and since both times I was there the same month I do not know how busy it is other months, sorry. That's only my experience.
Great film. It brought tears to my eyes. Today is my year anniversary of the Camino. This. Rings memories.
BRAVO on your journey! 🙌 How were the bugs there?
My favorite Camino video I have found yet. Extremely well put together! Been dreaming of the Camino for a few years now. Hoping to do it April 2017.
Best Camino video!!!!
Congratulations on your brilliant coverage of walking the Camino Frances.....I know what effort it is to take photos - let alone videos as you cover so much.....the sights, the sounds, the nationalities and different languages, the food, the drink, the highs, the lows etc.......
Thank you so much for putting it together with music so well and taking me again on my walk on the Way - returned last Tuesday.
I have Parkinsons Disease at 58yrs and found it a challenge this time - my first Camino was in 2013 from SJPdP to Burgos and this time I walked solo with my backpack from Astorga to Santiago de Compostela.
Are you going back to do another Camino....Im planning my next one already!!
With grateful thanks from JHB South Africa!! xo
A very nice video, I enjoyed it a lot, A very nice shots, points of view, nice to see, your progress all along the way, and nice to see you all to arrive to Santiago de Compostela!!!! Congratulations, Buen Camino!!!

Truly an inspiring documentary of a short journey in the life of the many pilgrims featured.
Just great. That's it. ;-)
I walked the Camino in the summer season of 2014. Of course, from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago.
The Camino is an experience that will change your life! Buen Camino peregrinos!
I really enjoyed your video, this was the first one that I watched all the way to the end. I am doing "El Camino De Santiago, the French one" next year. I can't wait for it. You have done a great work!

james what a,film/,has been so great to see u,do this walk and u,were so brave to share yr by-polar feelings,this film of yours has made me go into training to do this walk ,what u have shown us is so humble and great,if u decide to do it again mcall me best wishes Finbarr
Really enjoyed your story and video. Thank you for sharing. I'm 50 this year, living a great life, and wanting to mark the big birthday with something exceptional and solo. Camino might be the answer, at least part of it. I may do 300km from Leon. I've enjoyed 125km on the French trail St. Jacques starting at Le Puy en Velay and may just start up where I left off there and continue too. Must decide soon as I'd like to do it in September if I do it. Your video danced through my head overnight after I finished watching, helping me figure out what I should plan..... Thanks again and all the best to you.
This video reminds me the beautiful days(and terrible blisters)when I was on the Camino.
It’s already 6years ago, but still sticking my heart all the time.
Thank you for making beautiful Video.!!
Awesome, thank you. I will be walking the Camino this August/September 2019. Only criticism is the videos music is so loud that its often difficult to hear what you and others are saying. Overall loved it.
🎶 🧡
Thank you for such a lovely film and the reality of it.
This has been the most uplifting and enjoyable film that i've seen on RUclips.You notice Jamie when you got into Galicia that the whole vibe and look changed and resembled our Celtic lands,after all they do say that the western side of the British isles share the same DNA as the Celtic Galicians,and you can see it.Thank you for uploading your travels.We are all pilgrims on the road.
I love this video. I have watched it a few times now and still like the whole journey it takes you on. I have been planning on doing this trip for a long while and now I have the chance to do it and this has helped to get a perfect view of what I might experience.
Jamie I fly out Tonight to calm my nerves I watched your journey again thankyou
Great documentary. Really enjoyed it. Walked the Camino during the summer of 2015 and brought back some great memories. Thank You. For all those thinking of doing the Camino, do it you won't regret it.
Fantastic video beautifully done i will start my Camino in Three weeks can't wait you are a champion
Very inspiring! Now the bug is in my ear. Thank you, great film.
Loved this mate! I have felt a pull towards the Camino the last couple of years and this documentary has been very helpful. Nice work, thank you. I am going to get booked up soon :)
Thanks everyone for the really nice comments, really glad you are all enjoying it. I did the walk in May 2015. For those who were curious - it is a really nice time of year to do it.
+jamie nicoll Thanks for the awesome video!! I am walking my first Camino starting May 1st, and this gave me a taste of what I have to look forward to. Out of curiosity, over how many days did you walk??
+Shauna Bennek Took me 37 days - had some rest days as well.
Now that I've finished the Camino, I love watching this and seeing all the places we stayed. Brings me right back to all the fun memories. Thanks so much for this.
Took me 37 days as well!!! Two rest days. I was soooo out of shape that I had to walk an average of 8-10 hrs EACH day to make it when most could do it in under 6 haha. I SHOULD have taken more than 37 days but I went with my much fitter sister. Each night she had to wait for me for three hours to catch up.
The first day from St. Jean to Roncesvalles took me a whopping 14 hours! But in the end, 37 days wound being the average!
Near the beginning of your movie, you were eating Pizza and someone was BBQ ing Chicken...Was the Pizza good and Where was it? Also What towns had the Best Food on the Camino that you remember???
I did it in october 2016 and I still dream about it. Every single day...
brilliant video. it has reignited my desire to walk the camino thank you
This was so beautiful Jamie. I walked it in 2013 and I always look out for the latest video memories. You'll hold it in your heart all of your life. Well done and thank you for this lovely movie.
I think it's one of the best videos I've seen about The Camino de Santiago, Camino Frances, told in a natural and honest way. Thank you. I follow you to see more videos. All tbe best.
I love this beautiful film! I can't wait to do my Camino in a few weeks!
Beautiful video! I've been planning to do the Camino for a few years now, and i really can't wait to do it, but while watching your video i felt like i was already there! I really love how you documented everything and you can get the real feel of the trip. Great job!
Buen Camino and thank you, it has brought a little bit of the magic back.
Good account James - you were about 10 days in front of of the guys I were walking. I noticed "London" Sarah in one of your shots at dinner. Sarah was with our group but had to bus a few hundred klm to get to Santiago on time. The only problem with the video was that I didn't see 1 Gin and Tonics on your whole trip! Brought back some great memories. Congratulations and well done!
I did the Camino just over one year ago. I have to say that, of all the Camino videos I've seen, yours struck me as the most relate-able. Well done!
Thanks a lot for sharing your impressions! I have been really desperate the last days and there has been a moment in this video that has helped me in particular to remind me of something i was loosing about...
What was it? I am curious?
Thanks Jamie for your wonderful journey posted on RUclips. I am going to do the Camino in the fall of 2019, about the same time I retire from my job here in Tucson, Arizona USA.
Yours is one of the best I've seen. Thanks.
wow realy good dairy , brings back all the good and sometimes hard days walking , i did meet that man with his donkey and dog , well done my friend
Thank you so much for sharing your own Camino. First read about it when I was in highschool, from Paulo Coelho's The Pilgrimage. Will now be in my 30s and I feel the right time is just around the corner. Fingers crossed will do it on or before the next great Jacobean year and when renovations of the Cathedral are done. Love watching Camino videos! Buen Camino!
Thank you so much Jamie for this amazing account and sharing of your experience! I'm heading out on the Camino Frances this September and it made me want to leave for it today! What a gift your sharing is.... so many beautiful insights.
I love watching this, its given me great info on walking the Camino! I hope you do some more documentaries.
Wow, you captured the pilgrim's journey so incredibly well! I walked in Aug 2015 and this reflect my trip so well. Thank you for this. Buen Camino!
Thank you Jamie to put this on RUclips!!!
I really enjoyed a lot and Im going to sandiago journey myself!!!
Thank you again.
Very charming. Nagyon kellemes.
Bravo!! Well done! You just make me relive my Camino experience and like you I consider it the best decision of my life.
This is now my favorite Camino video. I really 'felt' your journey. I hope I can do my Camino next year ❤
I did the Camino in May this year. I feel like you captured the spirit and feeling of the walk perfectly. Thanks for uploading dude
Absolutely amazing. Thanks for taking the time to post this.
This brings back good memories of my Camino it is life changing in a positive sense. Thank you for sharing
Fantastic video capture of the Camino. Really love the editing. The interactions where my favorite parts of the video. Thank you
Great great video, walked from Leon to Santiago in 2014, and start soon in SJPDP - nice to see the places again!
Great video, revealing, realistic and educational, pausing view for a break. Jamie those blisters looked so painful. See you soon.
Great accomplishment! Congratulations for both trip and video editing! Sublime!
Hey. Great job on the video. My fav part was day 7, very honest, we can all relate I'm sure. Well done on the trip!
Awesome! I’m so inspired looking forward to the time when I can walk this route. Great job!
This is an amazing video. Really enjoyed watching your journey. Thank you. I will watch this again and again.
Lovely documentary. Fantastic to see the mind and soul transition from the start of the walk to end. Buen Camino!
Jaime, thanks for sharing your camino with us. Your footage (among others) has helped me decide to listen to that that quiet voice inside me telling me to go every someone talks about the Camino. I am hoping to do my first Camino later this year. There is clearly something very deep at work in all of us who are drawn to this experience. Maybe once I go I'll have a better understanding of what that is. But for now it is just a deep, calm knowing. Thanks again for sharing your experience.
You did a beautiful job documenting this. Thank you ✨🎉
Hey. Nice video. We walked the Camino during the same time. Don't remember you but i remember people from your video. Nice to see all these things once again.
James, thank you for share this great experience. Buen Camino.
