  • Check out my blog post about "How to do El Camino de Santiago in winter":
    aows.co/blog/how-to-do-el-cam...
    I walked 130 miles in 6 days. I had to face countless challenges including 3 winter storms that brought plenty of water, wind, snow and ice. I had to fight my own mind and push my body. I had to deal with the problems of finding places to sleep and eat during winter.
    This is the story of this unforgettable journey.

    The more I see this video, the more I see it again, the more fantastic it is, beautiful, poetic, wind, rain, snow, silence and miusic, and the true essence of travel and solitude with oneself! Thanks

    Superb, Adrian. I think of all the Camino vlogs I've seen yours was the most arduous, and yet the most rewarding.

    Just watched your video which I really enjoyed.
    I've walked multiple Caminos but never in winter.
    Reminded me very much of my native Scotland.

      Glad you enjoyed the video! I've done the camino a couple times and it's always a joy. I definitely recommend doing it in the winter at least once, it's a very different experience. Very few people (downside is many places are closed), the trails almost all for yourself. And yes, some parts of northern Spain are similar to the British Isles. Thanks again!

    Absolutely amazing. And you have my upmost respect. As. Photographer/film maker living in Northern Spain the walk must have taken you three times more than the normal just to produce such wonderful images I’ve just discovered you through your 6X6 videos because I have just bought a 6X6 roll film back for my 5X4 camera and wanted some inspiration.
    You have just gained another subscriber keep up the good work.

  • @pauljenkin297
    @pauljenkin297 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    That was a fantastic video. Aside from the walk itself (no mean feat) doing it in such hideous conditions, having to do all the b-roll and drone work must have made the task twice as hard. I hope you and your kit have now dried out completely. Keep up the great work, Adrian.

    Extraordinario. Me ha encantado a nivel de encuadres y por la narratividad que consigues. Es un gran trabajo. Sin duda ha sido un viaje duro, pero, como bien dices, será inolvidable. La dureza se ve reflejada, pero también la felicidad de conseguir el reto. Increïble como rinde la RX100 en circunstancias tan difíciles!!!
    Mis más sinceras felicitaciones. Ya añoraba tus vídeos después de estos días en blanco, pero con lo que nos has ofrecido valía la pena la espera. Lo volveré a ver!!!
    Un abrazo cineasta!

    Precioso camino Adrián, francamente duro.
    Salvando las distancias puesto que yo no sufrí esas inclemencias, me ha recordado mi primer camino en enero de 2018. Hice el camino inglés, sumando la etapa de Coruña y como tú, estuve solo los 6 días. No cambiaría aquella experiencia por ninguna otra cosa, a pesar de que después he repetido 2 caminos más, encontrando peregrinos y también ha sido maravilloso. Sufrir cada llegada, no tener con quien compartir y no saber si a la mañana siguiente podría con la mochila y el ánimo....y sin embargo al día siguiente te pones en marcha.

    I admire you deeply for undertaking this adventure. I enjoy my solitude at times, but I wonder how I would fare in 13 days of cold and snow alone? It would truly test one's mindset. It seems so beautiful, and yet I feel even I, the eternal introvert, would miss human interaction. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I hope you learned much, and are able to continue your journey in the future.

    • @aows
      @aows  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you! It was 7 days "only", 13 would have been definitely harder. I consider myself an introvert as well, but I also need human interaction. I had no problem during the Camino, though, because I knew I'd be back in just a few days, back to my loved ones, back to my friends. I think it's just easier when you have a deadline, when you are doing it just temporarily. If there was no end in sight... then, that'd be much harder. Thank you for watching and for sharing your thoughts!

    • @aows
      @aows  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, Thomas! It wasn't hard to find places to stay, but most of them are closed. So if you are doing sections different from the "official" ones, or stopping in smaller towns, you might have a harder time. I had them all booked ahead of time, you might want to do something similar, maybe have a few days booked ahead of time so you know you'll have a place to sleep that night.

    Should have been more footage of you putting on and pulling off your boots, and eating! The filming would have been great but you kept getting in the shot!!! You didn't mention what drone you used! I think you walked closer to 200 miles - set up your tripod - walk to get in the shot - walk back to pick up your tripod - walk the same distance (for the 3rd time) and continue on UNTIL the next set-up!!!
