I know you will do very well❤

Hello Anita, I agree with you and after two caminos: Frances & Portuguese as well as the Funisterre - you eat very well as a pilgrim. Good advice as to the lunch & dinner hours. Wishing you both a buen camino🙋‍♀️ with great paellas & lots of sangría💃

Wonderful news!! We’re currently on day 5 of the Camino del Norte. It’s been tough but the views are epic. We’ll be back on the Camino Portuguese in 2027. ❤ Buen Camino!

Hi Anita! You will have a fantastic time! Buen Camino. For my part, I would love to do the Via de la Plata

2. From Pontevedra I strongly recommend to walk to the very beautiful village Combarro (we stayed in Hotel Xeito, but there might be better ones). Either stay in Combarro or directly climb up to the Monastery of Armenteira where you should try to get a room for the night. Book far ahead over their website even if it says that no reservation is possible. Avoid the weekend if possible because then it's very crowded. Next day is the most spectacular day of the whole trip - but don't walk it on a weekend and also rainy weather makes it rather difficult. In case of rain or wet trail walk on the less beautiful but safer left side of the creek. The trail down from the Armenteira Monastery is called "Ruta da pedra e da auga". 6 km full of beautiful nature along a creek with old mills and little waterfalls. The day ends in Vilanova de Arousa. Next day take an exciting 90 minute boat trip to Pontesecures. Book boat ticket ahead. This boat ride is accepted for the Compostela. Many greetings from Germany, Lisa

Hi Anita, Great news!! For some reason I can't post my long comment. I try to split it. I walked the coastal route twice (last in April/May) and have two recommendations for you. 1. Stay two nights in Vigo and on day 2 take a day trip to the most beautiful Cies islands. Boat ticket to be booked ahead, e.g. at Mardeons website. Hotel "Ciudad de Vigo" is excellent and close to the harbour and also close to the Camino.

Can’t wait to see your travels

Thanks for your update, Anita. I'm looking forward to follow your Camino adventures. I just walked the Camino Português coastal route together with a friend from California and I returned to Germany on May 8. We were very lucky since before and after our Camino it rained a lot. Have a lovely summer🙋🏻‍♀️ Lisa

Hi Anita, I just came back from doing the Portuguese starting from Lisbon on March 31st and finished in Santiago April 30th via the Litoral Way. Had 5 days of rain leaving Lisbon and 5 days arriving in Santiago but I had a great experience meeting great people, passing some wonderful landscapes, enjoying some fabulous foods but most rewarding of all was meeting the most wonderful & generous people who on the heat of the day they come out to greet you, offer you water, coffee, cake, and their oranges ... nectar from the gods🥰🥰🥰

Hello from Switzerland. I love your video's. I am watching them to prepare for my 2nd Camino. After doing the Camino Frances in 2023 I am thinking of doing the Camino del Norte: Question: In what time of the year did you do the camino del norte? And what happend to day 6? the Video from Marina-Xemein to Guernica is missing.....

What time of the year did you travel there. (Month)

Thanks for posting and congratulations! I would highly appreciate if vlogs from the Camino told the actual date of fiöming... so you could get an idea of the conditions at the actual time. You never know how often people upload... so this was uploaded 17th of August 2022. But filmed around the same date? ❤

So happy to find out about this from you. My grandkids loved it❤

The fairies are beautiful!

The cafe you missed in the morning was on an alternate marked path from Hondarribia to the Sanctuary Guadalupe. 👍 sorry you missed it. It’s a long way without services to Pasaia 😉

Agree with everything you mention. Great. We're going the first part of the Camino Português from Lisbon to Porto this year. The only addition I have to make is 'it's not a sin to take a bus on a rainy day'

All good points. Re guide books, because a lot of/ most people follow the start and finish locations it puts a lot of pressure on the accomadation there. A point I would add is this is not a wilderness trail. The idea of walking from village to village to town etc. is a very different experience.

Beautiful san sebastian And thank U

That was a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing

Thank you for all the videos on Oia. We are headed there in September 2024 to start our hike to Santiago. I hope the renovation on the Monastery is completed.

I couldn't find the town Cue on my guidebook maps... where is it near?

I loved this one with the natural sounds and not the background....elevator beating music... It really helped me feel the place where you were. Very very nice.

Could you tell me what time of year you went?

excellent and refreshing take on the camino and how its different for different people.

Good Heavens Even

Thanks for the advice

Lovely

Estou curtindo muito caminho do norte otimo video buen camino

I'm curious to know how you found the actual route from Iran to San Sabastian? I'm on the Camino del Norte right now, about 15 days in. I couldnt find ANY route markers from Irun so ended up walking on the road all the way. It was a disaster! Farmers fields, they were shouting at me. Angry dogs, crazy steep banks through stinging nettles, just an awful first day! 😂 All because I couldn't find the signs. But, 2 weeks in and there is still very very poor signage. Miles apart from the Frances, loved that one! Thanks for sharing your experiences, loved the video. 😊

Loved your video what were the dates you did the Norte?

See Ya in Quartzite 🌵

Hey there, I just stumbled upon your channel. Subscribed! 😊

Thank you Professor! We will be following your steps in a few days…

RIP

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 🙏 ❤

Thank you so much for your videos! I am only doing Irun to Bilbao but I hope some day to do the whole thing 🙏 Till then, I'll watch your videos 🥰

Thank you ! Spot on.

how did you get to the different caminos , particularly St Jean Pied de Port?

Great to see you on YT again ! You look gorgeous in the photo with sunflowers. I ❤ it. GREAT JOB!

lovely video. i had breast cancer twenty years ago, had an operation but did decline the chemo and radiation just went to my chinese medicin doctor and let him needle me and took chinese herbs. since then i have not seen any doctor who uses western midicien nor taken any thin from the big satanic pharma industry and of course did not believe in the plandemic and was not jabbed. i am now over eighty and perfectly healthy no pains no problems at all. wish you all the. what you do now is the best remedy against illness. live your life happily and to not take naything from big pharma

How fun.

Love that Hershey’s tour!

"Marianito" is a popular name for a glass of vermouth (with a lot of ice, a slice of orange and am olive in a toothpick) which is usually taken as an aperitif before lunch, especially in summer.

great comments Anita! I found it funny that people are paper chasers rather than enjoying the journey. Last year I too did the Norte abd enjoyed your vlog. (even left comments haha) . I recommeded your videos especially the equipment one on a forum ( and others took up your suggestions esp the oversized rain coat). Next year I am planning another camino/s. This will entail the first week of the Norte (as it is the best), 5 days on the San Salvador and the Primativo to Lugo. After that Santiago to Fisterra. So, no I won't get a piece of paper but will slow down and enjoy it more. I discovered that rushing through a Camino is not the way but a process.

Wow! I am planning to do camino del norte in September. I am still undecided whether I want to do or skip the first stage from Irun to San Sebastian. Because it's a very long distance on the very first day. Last year, on camino portugues, I started very easy (8 km, 16 km, 20 km) and so on and it was the perfect slow start for me. I looked on the map and it looks like it's impossible to divide this stage in two, because there is no accommodation on the way, right? :/ I would like to do it because it looks so beautiful!

Thank you Anita! Definitely on my bucket list. Damn GPS….. glad you made it. Too bad we can’t take a portable laundry on the Camino.

Love it.

That is a very talented young man playing the electric violin👏👏👏

Hi Anita. That was very enjoyable and some of those birds migrate all the way up to Canada. I can name a few of what you showed us: Starting @1:26 Canada geese and their goslings; 1:45 White egret; 2:00 Downy woodpecker; 2:17 Great blue heron; 3:11 Great blue heron in flight; 4:09 Mallard drake; 4:11 Red wing blackbird; 4:19 Turkey vultures; 4:38 yet another Great blue heron and I will not mention the slitheries on the log ... he he he. Have a great drive and will see you on the next one.
