I have been working through my previous Caminos, creating content for my YouTube channel (plug, plug!!) and I have just finished creating a video from my Camino Finisterre in 2016. I can't believe that was 4 years ago. Fun fact - I actually planned to walk this in May 2016 but I broke my toe... Continue Reading →
