In Search of Santiago

Video Part 4 – The Places

Camino Video Part 4 – Places   You’ll pass through some amazing places during your Camino.  The sense of history was palpable and at times I could almost feel the presence of Pilgrim past.   These short video compilations are edited from about 400 short video clips I took over 40 days. There is a more comprehensive 37 minute version here:  37 Minute Camino Video   Camino Video part 4 – Lugares (Places) 6 min 2 secs This is Part 4 of 7 videos summarising Rob’s Camino...

7th of June – Exploring Santiago

Exploring Santiago de Compostela   My feet needed a rest!  So I spent the day making a few short outings to meet other Pilgrims for lunch, to visit the Cathedral a couple of times and to generally just soak up the atmosphere.   But for some reason it does not really feel like the end of my Camino yet. Meeting up in Santiago   Pilgrims just Hanging Out   Santiago de Compostela...

6th of June – The Final Day | From Rua to Santiago

I’ve had a really peaceful day walking from Rua to Santiago. Right now I’m at Monte do Gozo (the hill of joy) and I can finally see Santiago below me. Just another 3 or 4 kilometers to go! I’m standing next to the two statues of the pilgrims, totally alone, not a sound except the wind and the tweeting birds.

1st of June – Another Lesson? | Portomarin to Ventas de Narón

I’m about 8 kilometers from Portomarin, so I only have another 4 or 5 kilometers to go today. The road has been very busy so far today, but as normal, I’m falling back through the groups of pilgrims until I don’t really see anyone else behind me. This generally means that I’ll have quite a peaceful journey from here.

30th of May – Journey to Triacastela

Equipment and Body Repairs on the Camino My gear and I are starting to break 🙁 My focus now is on just getting to Santiago and making sure I walk every step of the way, which is a requirement to obtain the Compostela.  With good foot care and walking slowly (even slower), I’m sure I’ll make it….   Morning Start   Great mountain views   Pilgrim Statue   Old church and chickens   Feeding chickens   More cows   Water fountain   Foot repairs   More foot repairs   Small villages   Gear failure   102 km to...
