Wow. This is the best hiking documentary I've seen - a real model for others to follow. Not a blow-by-blow "this was day 6...7...8..." but rather, a beautifully conceptualized, thematic approach that leaves space for the viewer's own thoughts. Brilliantly made and well worth watching! Thank you.

Well said!

my wonderful wife Nick 🌻 and I walked the Camino Francés in 2015 to Santiago then on to Finesterre and Muxia then in 2019 we walked the Norte and Primitivo to Santiago and followed up by walking the English Way from Ferrol to Santiago - three times we have walked into Santiago together - sadly this year 2023 I lost Nick 🌻 to cancer on March 4th, we had been together for forty years, married for thirty seven years having three children together - I will again walk the Camino Francés in 2024 carrying Nick all the way in my heart - walking the Camino de Santiago was for Nick 🌻 and myself one of the most important and absolutely fabulous things that we shared together - hope to see some of you fellow pilgrims walking to Santiago in 2024 🇦🇺 🇪🇸 kd🌿

I have also lost a wife. I have three wonderful children and my own life to pledge to her memory. Bless you for your devotion to your own wife’s memory. They never die if we live them.

I like this. Not making a big deal about things. There is always some place to sleep. Dont worry. Just open your heart and mind.

I walked this in 2018 in 33 days. It changed me for ever; in abnegation lies our redemption. I salute all my fellow pilgrims and I salute all the kind-hearted people who provided succor to this weary sinner. Ultreïa ! Ultreïa ! E sus eia Deus adjuva nos !

This has got to be one of the best produced documentaries about the Camino I’ve seen. So inspirational. And nice to see regarding the French Way. Thank you for showing the many sights along the way.

It does stand out. Good photography. An adult’s way to look at a long challenge. My St. Thomas friend walked it 20 years ago and felt alone as an American. 🔯☕️I find it intriguing but as a Jew it would be unrealistic to actually try. It is a Christian thing, not for the people who do not find comfort in the Spanish Jesus. Still, I do want to visit and maybe walk a couple of days on the path closest to the sea. This is where the Jews would go to escape to France in the 1300s-1600s.

My wife and I bumped into you in May 2022 when you were researching the Camino for a video (this Video I assume!). Somewhere between Sarria and Santiago. So fun to see the final product!

Thank you I did the Camino Francés in 1996. You brought me back, with all the emotions. I appreciate it!

Thank you for this wonderful film of your journey. Your movie captures the spirit of friendship and community so well. The lived experiences and the reasons why people walk the Camino are heart-breaking and inspirational at the same time. I walked this way in 2019 at the age of 61 and I know that if I had walked this journey as a young man, my life would have been so different. It is life changing. I also recognise so well the contradictory emotions of the penultimate day - the excitement that I was about to complete my most amazing journey mixed with the genuine sadness that it was coming to an end. I remember the mists and beautiful views on that penultimate day and I remember noting that it was the Camino's way of showing it's gratitude that I had walked for 5 weeks (my reason for walking was a walk of gratitude that my elder son was still with me). I walked so slowly that day. I struggled with La Meseta, really struggled, but the journey through Galicia was incredible - literally waking on clouds. It will live with me forever. God bless you for reminding me of how wonderful we can be to each other no matter where we are from or what languages we speak.

I just want to add a story of 3 nights that illustrate how special this walk is. The first was in a small alburgue where a priest from New York (a priest walking the Camino barefoot) held the most poignant, informal mass in the front room of the alburgue. As a Catholic, albeit somewhat lapsed, it was powerful. The second was in Ages, population 60, where the pilgrims took over and the camaraderie between nations was joyous as we ALL drank, talked and watched the sun go down. The third was arguably the best night of my life where, after a long days walking in the heat, a fellow pilgrim picked up a guitar that was lying around and led the whole of the alburgue in a concert of singalong songs that lifted everybody. Truly, truly special.
