In Search of Santiago

Video Part 3 – The Spiritual and Emotional

Camino Video Part 3 – The Emotional and Spirtual   This is what really sets the Camino part, from merely a long hike….. There were certainly some highs and lows and a few barriers to get through… 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 Part 3 – Espiritual y Emocional 5 min 31 secs This is Part 3 of 7 videos summarising Rob’s Camino...

24th of June – Camino Revelations

OK, I said that I would share my Camino Revelations when I got to Santiago. I’m a bit late! But I’ve still been processing some things…. In a separate post later, I may share some of the more ‘Spiritual’ elements of my Camino. Not quite ‘burning bushes’ but it was close a few times! For now, I’ll talk about that whole issue of answers and questions. Early in my Camino I was searching for answers.

19th of June – Post Camino Progress

After the Camino is Finished? I rather suspect that this is where the hard work starts.  Putting those life lessons into practice. These thoughts were recorded about 10 days after reaching Santiago de Compostela, having walked the Camino Frances for 40 days.   Video – Post Camino Transition   Video – Camino...

4th of June – A Feeling of Peace | From Melide to Arzua

I set out this morning from Melide, which is an intermediate stop on the final hundred kilometers of the Camino. Because of this, there are not too many pilgrims on the road and I largely have the trail to myself. There was a rather large group of pilgrims staying in my hostel whom I met at breakfast, but I think they’ll be starting a little bit later 🙂

26th of May – Cruz de Ferro

After a very pleasant walk up from Foncebadón in chill morning air, I reached the Cruz de Ferro before the main crowds, which was nice. There were a few people there but it wasn’t too noisy. I was already prepared for the fact that the atmosphere around the cross would not be quite like that of a church. When visiting the Cruz de Ferro, you really need to shut out what others are doing around you and perhaps some of the noise.

26th of May – Cruz de Ferro and Beyond | Foncebadón to Molinaseca

I wanted to make sure that I got to the Cross before big crowds of pilgrims got there. So as breakfast started at 6:30 at the hostel, I was on my way by 6:50. The walk up to the cross from Foncebadon was only about two and a half kilometers and it was a glorious walk in the early morning, with the crisp air, and great views looking back across the way we had come.
