It was May 2019. It felt like a lifetime ago. Myself and my brother started out from Ferrol at the end of May and a few days later walked into Santiago having detoured to A Coruna. It was a short sweet Camino and one I would love to walk again, but maybe from Ferrol. Efren,... Continue Reading →

It is the weekend again and Efren is back with another offering of Camino goodness. He has already completed his Camino del Norte and Camino Ingles and he is putting all his thoughts and words in video form.

Weekend Watch #70 – Another milestone
I remember starting out on my Weekend Watch adventure back in 2015. My goal was to give you one video about the Camino per week, one video from the (literally) hundreds of uploaded content on YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook. With this milestone, I am going to give you 4 because you are worth it....and because... Continue Reading →
On the subject of YouTube..
I may as well give a little plug to my own YouTube channel that is in its infancy. I hope to record a few shots while walking and upload it for you to see. I'm comfortable with the Dji osmo pocket that I bought before Christmas. It is so tiny you can fit it in... Continue Reading →
Weekend Watch #68 – The Journey
When I discovered the Camino de Santiago nearly 10 years ago, this was one of the first videos on YouTube I found and I was enthralled by the photos. This slideshow was created by a Belfast man who walked the Camino Frances in 2007. The music is apt, considering we are approaching March 17th. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS_UVpBLTtw...

Weekend Watch #66 – The Sounds of the Camino
What do you get when you just listen when you walk on Camino...I guess you get silence...and a lot of the sounds of nature. This video has all of that. If you haven't walked the Camino, it is worth a watch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4HOp9ZtMkg With thanks to Busybird Publishing on YouTube.
Weekend Watch #65 – Why people walk the Camino?
It's the weekend again and I am home from another great walk with Camino Society Ireland. I love meeting with other pilgrims. You can read how we got on here on the Camino Society Ireland magazine. Before I shuffle on to bed, I was sent this video by Linda and it made me think. We... Continue Reading →
Weekend Watch #64 – Portuguese Coastal Camino
This is a short video promoting the Portuguese Coastal Camino and it does a great job. September can't come soon enough. However, I can't help noticing that this particular pilgrim walked inland to Valenca instead of crossing the River Mino at Caminha. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGJz6Jey-OQ
Weekend Watch #56 – Maddi on the Camino Frances
It's the weekend again, and we have another clip from YouTube for you. In this clip, Maddi takes us from St Jean Pied de Port on the Camino Frances. Her Camino was not without suffering however due to the recurrence of a previous injury but her determination led her to Santiago. This is a super... Continue Reading →

Another video from the Camino Frances, this time from Miriam from Germany. She recently enjoyed a September Camino and had a ball. You can watch her YouTube channel where she gets to grips with life after the Camino! I love this video, I hope you do too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2dbOxc00is If you enjoyed this post let me... Continue Reading →
