Look no further for content on walking the caminos in Spain to Santiago de Compostella. There's also videos about pilgrimage in Japan, notably the 88 temples route around the island of Shikoku as well as more general info about Japan and Kyoto (where I lived for a while) in particular. Thanks for stopping by.

Nice video - thanks for sharing :-)
Is there a lot of walking on asphalt?
Hi, I don't remember so much asphalt walking... certainly not as much as on the Norte. This is a good thread on the subject- www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/pavement-on-via-de-la-plata.42884/
I am comforted by the idea of leaving in the early Spring from real southern Spain by your video..especially concerning the heat.
Love it when you are complaining😂 thanks for posting your video! Greetings from Holland Johan
@@MrJohangeertsema27 don't encourage me! Potentially lots more complaints in the pipeline! 😔
Nice overview. How many days did it take you to walk?
About 5 weeks give or take. My approach is not to try and be at a particular place by a set date. Rather, take it easy, smell the roses and if you don't make it to Santiago, come back again and pick up where you left off! Buen Camino!
It’s pronounced Camino Francis not Camino France.
Excellent video. Well done. Short. Concise. Helpful. 🙏🙏🙏
This is so interesting. Really enjoyed your video on the Primitivo. Would you recommend rather starting at "Del Norte" and then change onto the Primitivo or would you say staying on the del Norte all the way is nicer?
I think most people swap from the del norte to the Primitivo because after a few weeks of sea, they feel it's time for some mountains... But if I knew I had time to come back and do the Primitivo at a later date, I'd stick on the del norte, for the sake of completeness. Also, it's nice that it's less busy after Gijon on the del Norte
Really interesting and well done. Thanks for putting this together. If you ever feel like expanding the routes you cover, I walked the Via Serrana from La Línea de la Concepción to Sevilla to link up with the Via de la Plata last fall, a wonderful 10-day trek, and plan to walk the six-day Camino de Uclés next Spring from Uclés to Madrid before commencing the Camino de Madrid. Certainly the Via Serrana deserves more attention that it has received so far.
Thanks for the tips - I'll look into those routes 🤠
".. just me the mountains and my blisters" 😀
Thank you. Your explanations are very clear. And hooray to the ocean!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
I talked my sister into doing the Camino del Norte because I wanted to walk along the sea, “it is always about the sea.” So true. We start Aug 22 in Irun and I am giving us 44 days to get to Santiago. If you had to pick a city to stay a day or two in along the route, which would you choose and why?
SO many great cities. But if I had to choose one, then San Sebastien because of the food scene. The Guggenheim also makes Bilbao a highly attractive stop off..
thank you, that is very concise and full of very useful information. If I travel in June does that mean I have to book private hotels (more expensive?) as the albergues will be still closed?
Sorry if I said something to mislead but by June, the albergues should be open. I tend to book (either the same morning or the night before) only if there's a particularly nice place to stay that I don't want to miss out on.. Buen Camino !
Agree ,👍it will all fall into place
Thanks for the video. Do you consider it to be a safe route if you travel alone? I guess there are still some ppl on the camino you are not on your own all the time?😅
Hello! This thread may help - www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/any-solo-females-who-walked-the-camino-primitivo.71932/
You never mentioned the Camino Fonseca. Beautiful and interesting route from Salamanca to Santiago via Sanabres.
Camino Fonseca looks great - thanks for the tip!
Hi, Cole! Thanks for the encouragement! We met last year on the Camino. We will walk part of the Camino Ingles this June!
Sounds great!
I agree with the others comments. Tx for the info and the video perfecto cheers buddy👍
Great video, Cole! Lots of nice shots and useful information! Hope you're doing well!
Thanks! You too!
Excellent video thanks for it
Thank you for this informative video. I heard the higashiyama area closes very early. Not much to do in the evening. Is it correct?
Higashiyama ward covers quite a large area but the western edge borders the busy downtown area. The further east you go from there, the further into the mountains you get into "peace and quiet" territory... so with "higashiyama" there's much variety... HTH !
@@colesushi thanks for the tip. So go near the river in the evening.
Thanks for the vid! If I were to walk this route, I'd choose the Sanabres to avoid the crowds from the Frances route. Cheers!
Fair enough! Although Astorga is well worth a visit at some point!
I got lost once but found my way back ! is that a lesser-known camino ?
Probably one of the least-known. Well done for getting un-lost !
Hey Cole, thanks for the video super helpful! Just wondering regarding the hospitales route, can you take it between Pola de Allande and Berducedo? If not, what stops do you recommend making before and after to fully appreciate it?
This thread should help - www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/hospitales-route.79073/
Thank you for the info! Very useful. I haven't heard of the others but I've seen great vids of the San Salvador and Primitivo from "Walks with Efren". Cheers and safe travels!
Glad it was helpful!
Y no ha visto Mérida y Cáceres? 😮
¡Me encantó Mérida y Cáceres! Videos sobre esos lugares que vienen
Can you turn that guitar down a bit please?
Thanks for this - love your comments. However it does reflect a reality of any Camino “ why am I doing this” feeling at times.
I think it's only about 10% "why am i doing this" so not a bad ratio ..
Bravo. Finally, some added, quality content of your long pilgrimage. We appreciate you putting this all together. Cannot wait for the next vlog.
More to come!
Some very nice shots. I have heard its a magic quieter camino cheers buddy for the heads up to many Caminos not enough time 👍
Thanks 👍
Nice video spoken like a true Brit 😂. Funny how a journey goes only to say never ever again Tx the post and sharing the adventure cheers buddy,👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Very helpful thanks Cole.
You're welcome - buen camino !
Very good video, thanks🙏I'm hoping to do it in July and August or August and September please God🙏still researching🤔
Good luck!
Sorry Sir, may I ask... At the beginning of October 2024 I am planning the Camino Del Norte from Bilbao to Santander with several elderly friends, is there a backpack delivery service from Bilbao to Santander? Thank you🙏🏻
I haven't used baggage transfer but looks like Correos have been good. Check this thread - www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/backpack-transfer-along-norte-september-2022.72304/
@@colesushi thanks for info🙏🏻
Very good video.Do I need walk 25 to 30kms every ? Do I have choice to shorten the routes.eg.walk 20 kms every day and can find the alberque.
Short answer, no - you can normally do much shorter days than 25 to 30kms. There are plenty of handy apps out there (e.g. Camino Ninja) that can help you plan your day. You can find out where the next place to stay is that is between 15 and 30 kms (for example)... I think there's no shame in getting a bus/taxi if you consider your destination for the day is too far to walk ... Buen camino !
Hi Cole.Thanks your advice.@@colesushi
buen camino.. nice video.. I hope my camino in october 2024 will true🙏🏻
I hope you can make it !
Garacias🙏🏻
Excellent video! Very clear. Very concise. Very useful. Thank you. Buen Camino!
Glad it was helpful!
Vielen Dank für dieses wunderschöne Video. Ich bin den Urweg von Oviedo nach Muxia gegangen, einem Ort, der als das Ende der Welt bekannt ist. Es war wunderschön, entspannend, inspirierend und sehr emotional. Es hat mich an die Wege erinnert, die ich gegangen bin , vor allem die Krankenhausroute, wo ich durch die Arbeit des Schicksals das gefunden habe, wonach ich nie gesucht habe, Liebes, aber es war nicht möglich, denn so ist das Leben, nochmals vielen Dank, sehr schöne Reportage. Grüße von Charlotte Nirth Carolina.
I also had quite a magical experience along the hospitales route - I highly recommend taking this option x
@@colesushi
It was magical and wonderful to walk, it was 5:45 am and the sun began to rise on the horizon and the cold mountain wind sheltered me with its caresses, making me cry because of so much peace I felt, the entire universe was there, next to me , I could feel the divine presence and all my regrets and fears disappeared, making me take another attitude towards life that I maintain to this day, THANKS TO THE HOSPITALS ROUTE FOR CHANGING MY LIFE❤️
is it expensive to do the camino?
I think you can make it quite cheap. Per day: Private Alberge (hostel) bed in dormitory - eur15 Breakfast (toast plus coffee) - eur3 Mid-morning coffee - 1.20 lunch from supermarket (bread, cheese etc.) eur 5 Pre dinner beers eur 4 dinner (2 courses, including wine, bread etc.) - eur15 So that makes about eur 43 per day.
excellent video thanks- i’m going to walk this after watching- instead of just repeating the frances which i was very tempted to do.
Buen camino and I hope the weather is kind!
Beautifull Explanation. Thank you Mr.Cole
Glad it was helpful!
I'll be starting from Irun at the end of April with my brother!
Buen Camino !
Bought a Lenovo android tab to use. Finds the FP10 in Piano Partner 2, prepares data, then says Data acquisition failed E003-1. Piano app fails to find piano at all. Piano app works on iPhone, Piano Partner gives same acquisition error on iPhone. Very disappointing.
Great informative video and much appreciated. I'm just about to go and do the Camino Portugues (57 year old!) on my own and been feeling a bit nervous, but feel so much better after watching your lovely video with it's beautiful scenery and clear guidance. Thank you so much. :)
Glad it was helpful!
Very cool video. Makes me want to do it!
Do it !
Loved it! So well made and informative that it feels like I'm there again. It wouldn't have been the same without you either, Cole!
Miss you guys - hope all is well back in sunny Vancouver. You coming back to do another Camino?
We are hoping to eventually, but probably in a couple years or so. We loved it and I would like to do the primitivo (maybe starting from Irun again). I have the feeling that you'll be doing at least two this year. We both miss you too!
Hi i want a suggestion, is the following neighborhood safe for female student? Addess : 683 Shizuichiichiharachō, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto, 601-1123, Japan
I think nowhere is 100% safe and this area seems quite far from the city centre... Try asking around on one of the Facebook Kyoto groups?
nice one, thank you!
Glad you liked it and Buen Camno!
Thank you for this guide video! Do you know the name of the in incredible viewpoint you were at in 1:35 in Porto? Absolutely gorgeous 😍
If you get to the Jardim do Morro then head up from there, you'll be in the vicinity!
