Just love your original dialogue amigo, each of your camino's it changes ever so slightly as you mature.

Buddy - your first response of "fuck it - I got nothing!" is amazing. Glad you enjoyed that varied trip my friend!

Great videos! Finally looked at the filmed date and realized you started one day before I did.

I watched your entire Camino videos from start to finish. I will be walking the Camino for the first time in 2020 when I am 70 years old!!! I gained so much info from your videos and certainly took down notes. You made me laugh at your funny comments and I can hardly wait for my adventure.

Loved your production and of course your journey Efren! I did the Camino with my wife. She is still working and I'm recently retired so our time was super limited to a week. Naturally, we had to pick Sarria as a starting point. Your video brought back the lovely memories we have of Galicia and the people and pilgrims we met there. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us out there. Buen Camino

Fabulous series. Truly the best documentary out there. You are great with the camera and I love your commentary. Thank you for doing.

In two weeks time, I am undergoing surgery for weight loss, with a view to starting my Camino next year, your videos are keeping me motivated and hopefully I will get the health and mobility back to complete this undertaking. Keep moving forward you are really helping others like me to strive to improve our health to follow in your footsteps.

I'll be watching your videos in sequence and thank you so much to people like you who take the time to educate us all! I'm planning on an April 2019 trip and I'm looking forward to watching not just the scenery and your life philosophies but also your photo and video techniques. But I'll be bringing a small Sony mirrorless. A Canon DSLR with a 24-70 is just plain crazy. I, too hope to publish my take on my Camino Way, Just hoping for continued good health. Buen Camino!

Your Camino videos are by far my favorite that I have found on KZread! I am watching Day 07 right now. Very well done! I am going from April 8th to May 24th, 2018, so it is great to get an idea of what the weather could be like for me. I can't wait. :-)

Thank you for the drone videos. I've done the Camino but now I get to see aerial views. Cool!

Really interesting, loved seeing the scenery, brought back memories of my trip last year. That first day has some gorgeous scenery

I simply love this part of France, its incredible

Thank you for sharing! Such a great job. Good Way!

Great video, a very different perspective to the others I've watched and glad it showed some terrain on the first day out of SJPDP

Great video! Thank you for sharing your journey. It's given me a better idea of what the 'The Way' will be like when I start.

I'm doing this one day, hopefully soon...and I'm bringing my drone too!! Thanks for sharing your experience.

All your videos are great! They set the standard for Camino Vlogs! For those who have not walked the Camino Frances yet, if you have any concerns at all about your fitness then spent the first night at Orisson (where Efrén had breakfast), there is a very good communal dinner experience and you will meet people who you will see during the whole Camino. Your bunk and dinner will cost about 38 Euros, which might seem high for the Camino, but for me it was worth it.

Making plans to walk the Camino next April (2020). These videos are great for a newbie like me to get a flavour of what it feels like to start off on the journey. I appreciate the effort you've taken in compiling this vlog, and the work that's gone into making them. Thank you.

This Camino actually changed my life, I have lived a life of 24/7 but when took my first steps up the mountain it released a passion for Spain and walking. My grandfather was Spanish and my walk wasn't without drama's spending the night in San Pedro Hospital after collapsing. Suffering from dehydration, waking up with 4 stitches on my nose and 2 black eyes taking the drip at of arm and catching a taxi back to Najera to get my backpack and walk in the pouring rain to Santo Domingo.

I am starting it in 2 weeks!!!! I can't believe it's happening!

Saludos, Efren…aquí volviendo a repasar tu video de El Camino; aprovecho la oportunidad para agradecerte todo el esfuerzo en la preparación de la serie de tus videos ya luego de haberlo realizarlo en el 2019 y verlo nuevamente ahora verdaderamente reconozco todo el esfuerzo que le pusiste. Gracias!!! Tu serie de videos sobre el Camino Frances me ayudo e inspiro grandemente en mi preparación para realizar el camino. Definitivamente, fue una de las mejores experiencias de mi vida. Ultreya!!!

I love the wise words!

That quote was good. Hope I do as well next year.

El Camino Francés sigue siendo la madre de los Caminos, fue el primero y caminé demasiado rápido y no aprecié la historia, pero después de ver tus vlogs volveré a caminar por última vez.

Doesn't look like I'll be walking a Camino this summer. Hope and pray that these turbulent times in the world change soon. Until then I'm walking the Camino vicariously through your videos, lol. Mind you, I've walked it six times already, three different routes, lol. I really enjoyed Saint Jean Pied de Port. Such a lovely little French/Basque town and those first steps out the stone rampart onto the Camino the first morning are almost magical to experience.

good point on the hiking poles. i was thinking about bringing them, but as you say its only one day in the camino where you really need them. great video.

thanks, it was the beginning of a new passion.

I will watch all the videos... I did the Camino in July-August (2018) and I was looking for information for my photos and I found out your videos. Thank you for sharing your experience. And I am looking forward to see all those footage from the drone... It's a different perspective. By the way... The red and white and blue stripes that you see (saw) in some parts of the Camino... They are routes. In case of the white-blue-white it means that you are in a European long-distance paths (or only E-path), and there is one called E3 path that covers many countries in Europe, and it goes along the Camino de Santiago. The red-white is another long-distance footpath, but this one doesn't cover so many countries in Europe. The name of this one is Grande Randonnée (or Gran Recorrido, or simply GR). In this case you/we walked in the GR65. There is another curiosity with the indications. You might see along the way some blue arrows (I think I saw it in Santiago de Compostela or on the way to Finisterre/Fisterra). Well, some people say that is to indicate the Camino backwards... Others believe that is to indicate the route to Fátima (in Portugal). Sorry for the long comment... Ultreia!

Hey, you walked the Camino the same year I did!! I started from St. Jean in May 2017!

At 1:45 best advise ever👍👍 fully agree.

I also chose not to listen to music at all along the Camino. At home, I’m listening to music all the time, and I wanted to live a completely different life on the Camino. It was the right decision. I had nothing but blue skies and sun for most of my Camino. I only got the rain on one day close to Santiago and then two days on the way to Finisterre. Clear skies and sun versus walking in the fog make for two completely different Caminos.

GOOD VIDEOS!

Buenísimo!
