16 Caminos de Santiago in just over 3 years...
I travel the world... I take my time... One country at a time...One place at a time...
In the last 3 years I have embarked on over 16 long reflective walks on the Camino de Santiago in Spain.
It all started with a friend who ask me, “When are you going to settle down?" Long story short, I never did!
Instead I set out crazy journey that has taken me to over 125 countries and all 7 continents.

This video covers the Camino Vadiniense, a lesser-known yet captivating route that runs from the picturesque town of Mansilla de las Mulas, near León, to the beautiful Monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana in Potes. Stretching approximately 150 km, this Camino takes you on a 6-to-8-day journey through the serene Cantabrian Mountains, charming rural villages, and lush valleys.
The Camino Vadiniense is perfect for adventurers seeking tranquility and breathtaking scenery. It connects the Camino Francés with the Camino Lebaniego, creating a bridge between two legendary pilgrimage routes. Unlike the more traveled Caminos, the Vadiniense offers a peaceful experience, away from the crowds, and immerses pilgrims in northern Spain's rugged natural beauty.
Highlights of the Camino Vadiniense include:
The stunning landscapes of the Picos de Europa, offering a mix of steep climbs and rewarding views.
Quiet, historical towns like Cistierna and Riaño, with opportunities to explore authentic Spanish culture.
The spiritual destination of the Monastery of Santo Toribio, home to the Lignum Crucis, considered the largest surviving piece of Christ’s cross.
If you're looking for a unique pilgrimage with a blend of history, nature, and spiritual depth, the Camino Vadiniense is your perfect path. Take a break from the more crowded routes and embrace this hidden gem!

Thanks really enjoyed your overview. We start on 12 March, fingers crossed for a bit warmer weather!
Glad you enjoyed it. I have a PDF guide of the route. Link in the description.I wish you a Buen Camino... and a bit warmer weather.
@ thanks we already took a look at your guide earlier. Very helpful thanks
Excellent background music.
Thank you.
What dates did you walk?
It was September / October
I will do this this year, thank you for the excellent report. (Obrigado)
You are very welcome. I have a FREE PDF guide of the route, link is in the description... I wish you a Buen Camino!
@@rolfscaminos Thank you very much for your kindness
belo RAPPORT
🙏
Thank you for the wonderful video! Your pdf guidebook is hands down the best one I have read! I will be using it now, and in May when I walk the same route you walked. Thank you so much. Priceless!
I am glad you liked the video and pdf and wish you a Buen Camino!
Your camerawork is out of control! Bravo on your cinematic chronicle. 👏
Glad you enjoyed it. 😉
Gracias por este video, son muy buenas las imagines y me hizo revivir mi camino del 2019. Saludos desde Córdoba Argentina
Gracias! Mi primer camino fue en 2019!
Leuk filmpje weer Rob, al dat fruit ook, zoveel verschillende soorten, heerlijk gewoon👍👌
😃
Thank you for sharing another wonderful video. One can only experience such a journey through these videos. Thank you! Rolf. ❤
I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you.
Cool Video! Where are you from original?
Thanks. I am German born in South Africa.
Ah cool. Maybe I will Walk this Camino this october or the inverno. Are you in a camino this year?
Amazing
Thanks
Thank you so much for this awesome video, we are planning to do this route in May and you have inspired me with all the useful information and with your enthusiasm. Also this has helped me with my location of stays🥾❤️
Awesome! I am glad you liked it. I have some pdf guides on my website and some chat bots that can help you further. link is in the description.
@rolfscaminos thank you, I will take a look 👍
Wie lange ist der Camino
ca 160 km
@rolfscaminos Danke für die rasche Antwort gibt es auch bitte ein Buch mit den Routen dazu Wünsche einen schönen Abend und Buen Camino
Eigendlich habe ich nur das Buen Camino app benutzt, aber auf meiner Camino Seite eie PDF mit den ganzen Daten von der Rute zusammen gesammelt...Unterkünfte etc www.rolfscaminos.com
Love your videos! How heavy is your pack including your camera gear, and what pack weight would you suggest for a Camino beginner, especially on the longer routes? Thank you for your insight.
Thank you. My pack with gear is about 10 kg. You should shoot for your pack being 10% of your body weight. The less weight you carry the better. Most places you stay at have facilities to wash your clothes.
Nice video
Thank you!
Just wondering what time of year this was?
Spring. I started the second week of March.
@@rolfscaminos interesting that it was so cold on the Sanabres. I really appreciated your overview of the Via de la Plata. It gave me a very good idea of what this camino offers. Do you have a video that discusses the gear you took on this Camino?
great video! What time of year?
Glad you enjoyed it. I walked September / October as I also did the Primitivo 1/2 way through.
❤
thanks!
What time of the year did you walk? Its very attractive walking.
September
That's a stunning route.
It really is...
In what month of the year you did this Camino?
March - April
Nice!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Rolf. Thanks for sharing your camino! Researching our next camino for Sept 2025 and thinking of the Primitivo, Vadiniese alone or combined with Lebaniego and maybe the San Salvador. Would you mind sharing your thoughts on these....and if there is another I didn't identify. Ideally, around a 2 week trek. Could consider adding additional time...maybe a bit on the Frances? Not sure. Too many options hahaha
They are all great caminos... it mostly depends on how long andwhat level of difficulty you are wanting. The Primitivo is 2 weeks and probably the easiest of them all. San Salvador is only 5 days but more difficult.
"..and the lack of pilgrims". Well said Rolf as I think many of us can understand this comment. Many of us are hikers at heart and the Frances is more like a hike through Benidorm but with less sand. Understanding Camino ways your videos are factual and perfect without the usual self promoting nonsense.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Muchas gracias y feliz Navidad
Igualmente! Gracias!
Olá Meu nome é Frank Sou brasileiro e gostaria muito de fazer o caminho da prata partindo de Sevilha. Vc pode me ajudar com dicas e sugestões em relação a custos dos albergues, facilidades de albergues, muito aclives e declives .

No meu site, tenho um PDF com todas as informações e um chatbot que você pode digitar ou falar para obter respostas sobre o Caminho... também em português. O link está na descrição. Bon Camino!
link in the description...
Great job Rolf......I will start the same Camino at the end of February.
Thank you! I wish you a Buen Camino!
@@rolfscaminos Thank you!
Great Videos , thank you !!! , when did you start the Camino Norte, the weather looks great!! Thank you
Thank you. I started the last week of August.
Du gehst den Caminho Portugues ab Porto und nicht den Camino Central
Ab Porto gibt es 2... Costa oder Central... 😀
@rolfscaminos Nein der Interior/Central zweigt in Coimbra ab
If someone wanted to walk the Camino de Santiago on the Via de la Plata alone, what advice would you give them for the trip?
Do it! It is amazing Camino.I always walk alone. The key is to stay in Albergues as you will meet other pilgrims. I personally don't like walking with others but do like meeting up with others along the way. You will meet people along the way... and will always run into them either in the evening at the Albergue or a few days later along the way. Be sure to carry snacks and rxtra wazer and maybe a Bocadillo for lunch on the days with no services... there are a few. Buen Camino!
And thank you so much for great video. Really appreciate it. Cheers
You are welcome. Glas you enjoyed it.
Hi Rolf. What was temperature in the morning? Did you went trough Pyrenees? In which part best to using hiking shoes? Sneakers part? Sandals part ?
I can't really remember, which means that it wasn't cold. The first day is over you go over the Pyrenees. For the Frances you basically just need Trail runners and some flip flops for the showers etc. I eould not recommend saddles as you probably would get stones into them . I use Nike Trail. My site has a chat bot that can answer most any Camino question. www.rolfscaminos.com
Loved your drone shots! Thanks for the great share!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed them!
Sorry, in the beginning those boots you were wearing looked incredibly uncomfortable and restrictive. Second pair much more comfortable.
They are actually very comfortable...and not restrictive at all. But on the Norte's endless asphalt the trail runners are definitely better. I was very glad to have them with once I bent off to the Primitivo as I got tired of all the asphalt....
I too was dismayed when I exited the Norte to the Francais. There are alternate ways into Santiago, and I would urge everyone to research the options. I have so enjoyed these episodes with Ellie and Since, recognized much of the route, and learned about the 300 mile stretch in the middle, which I will walk in 2025. Lovely couple.
Buen Camino!
Hola Rolf's. Me puedes decir la cámara que te está filmando y que va girando a medida que avanzas? Que marca es? Me ha encantado. También llevo 15 Caminos y me suscrito a tus vídeos. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Hola Eduardo. Enhorabuena a todos los caminos! La camera que uso es la insta360 One R, creo que ya no la venden, ya que cambiaron el modelo la "One RS" pero casi no cambio nada las dos son de 5.6k, asi que no la compre. Hace muy poco sacaron una nueva de 8k que se llama X4 que sería la que recomendaría comprar ahora, aunque es un poco diferente a la One R o RS. Espero que esto te ayude en decidir si te la compras. Buen Camino.
Absolutely brilliant Rolfe. You have sold it to me, the information and your dialogue is very good. Am 80 next year so will need to get some mileage training in. I have trekking experience having done Everest Base Camp three times but can no longer get insurance for Nepal, so the Camino is very tempting. Thank you for all the info.
You are welcome. Be sure to visit my website, it has a lot of information and also has a chatbot that can answer pretty much any question you have about the Camino. www.rolfscaminos.com
OMG, this video is my all time favorite 🤩
Glad you enjoyed it!
We did the Fances in September and October in 2022, 32 days of walking. 27 days is amazing. I think next time I will take 37 or so so I can explore some of the towns better. We got into Astorga so late and left so early I never go to see the bishops palace or the cathedral! Buen Camino!
I wish you a Buen Camino!
In some video footage it seemed like another person was enjoying filming you. How did you manage to make these video shots?
I use a 360⁰ camera...
Beautiful video describing your Camino on the Via della Plata. Compliments. Can you tell me the model of the Poncho you used on the Camino?
Thank you. The poncho I used on that camino was from Decatlon.
Did it snow on your December leg?
Yes... It's in the video...;)
What month did you do your walk? Thank you.
March / April
Thanks Rolf! Great video. Lebaniego and Vadiniense look good for 2026. The alternative being the Torres and Geira or perhaps add the Geira to the first two. Maybe by then you will have hiked the Torres and Geira and it will be an easier choice for me. thanks again
Thank you! I wish you a Buen Camino!
Awesome drone footage!
Thank you!
Otro espectacular vídeo de Rolf. Ultreia. 👍🏻❤️
Muchísimas gracias!!!
Hi Rolf, What time of year did you walk the Camino Lebaniego? It looks so gorgeous I feel I must add it to the Norte in mid April
I did it the last week of April.
It will be a nice break from all the asphalt walking...
Awesome, awesome, awesome! I want to do this section.
You should!
Beautiful video! I may have missed it, but when did you walk this Camino? Weather was quite nice.
Thank you. I walked it in May. It was great hiking weather.
Thanks. My wife and I were on the Camino Francés at that time and arrived in Santiago 26 May. What a wonderful experience. Thanks for sharing your journeys.
My walk was the 1st week of May... so a bit earlier.
