Thanks for sharing ! This is one of my favorite parts--I crossed over from the GR65 and went up to St Palais from Aroue in September 2017, and then down to Larceveau. I had mostly good weather except leaving from Larceveau and again arriving in St Jean Pied-de-Port. I do, very much remember the climb up to the chapelle de Soyarza ! Photos do not do it justice... hahaha
Beautiful episode full of a lot of nature (the rain has not been lacking) and animals like the kitten that wanted to go to Santiago de Compostela 05:00. Follow El Buen Camino ✌️💙
Thanks, nice :-) You are giving me hope to do a camino in 2021. We followed a camino (starting with the Via Scandinavica) in 2020 from the baltic sea to the south west of Germany in 2020, by bycicle. The next step would be to get through France to SJPdP or Irun this year. Well, if and when we receive a vaccination. All the best to you. Will there be videos from your way through Spain?
Thanks a lot Ruediger for your comment. Did you published video from you trip on the Via Scandinavica ? Yes I have to finalized the videos in my Camino in Spain I will try to publish the first one this week 😊
@@dianesvoyages-english I did take videos and photos, of course, on all our caminos (we also did two along the "del Norte" in 2018 and 2019. I even had the intention of making them into a TH-cam video, as I often enjoy videos such as the one you did. Unfortunately i have found that a) my picture-taking skills are not up to the task (think of a camera attached to the bicycle with lots of background noise and random movement) and b) cleaning this mess up would take more time than I can afford. Hence, also from this perspectice, thanks a lot for putting this much work into the videos!
Thank you so much for your kind comment. Wahooo you already are a pro regarding the different camino. How the one "del Norte" ? I am currently thinking about doing it this summer if Spain allows tourists again ....Moreover my video are not perfect but I am trying to improve and Yes I agree it takes forever to make a video.
@@dianesvoyages-english Re Camino del Norte: I have no comparison with the Camino Frances, but from the videos I have seen I would say the "del Norte" is really less crowded, and the landscape is similarly stunning. It seems to have about 30% more altitude to cover, due to the coastal mountains (which bring a lot of rain), and is a few kilometer longer. I had chosen it mostly due to a book I had read about someone who did this by bicycle, with two kids in a bicycle trailer of 60 kg (IIRC the kids were 1 and 4 years old). So I gathered that doing this with my (in 2018) 10 year old, but already rather grown-up daughter on her mountain bike should also be possible. In 2018, we started in San Sebastian, but "jumped" some parts to cover the distance to Santiago in the three available weeks of her school holiday. We did about 450 km in the end. We have then done the same again, but over the full distance of 850 km in 2019. We have always tried to stay on the main camino, which can be a challenge sometimes (think about fallen trees across a rocky path), but was also real fun and an adventure, which has brought us closer together. We are still talking about the "mud of Markina Xemain". Maybe not of interest to you as a hiker, but we have also found cycling on streets to be perfectly possible, when needed. First of all, Spanish drivers were very considerate, and often stopped to offer directions or give advice. And our daughter got "standing ovations" when cycling up a mountain (I did not get the same attention :-) ). And as the coastal autoroute is free of charge and runs close to an older country road, very few cars pass the older road. The expectation to swim in the sea often did not come true -- we were rarely in a place where this was possible, and in the evening, after a day on mountain paths, going down to the sea did not seem to be very desirable. We just wanted to rest. The community was strong on both occasions (think of 20 people from 10 countries singing "wind of change" by the Scorpions, while a Russian and an American play the guitars ...). All in all, I (and I believe my daughter) got addicted to "the Camino", and we were heartbroken when 2020 would not allow us to try another route in France or Spain. So that's why we did a German Camino, which has also turned out to be beautiful (albeit less "stunning" than the one in Spain or France, I would say). Regarding your question: yes, I can wholeheartedly recommend the "del Norte". Ultreia, Rüdiger
The route I did in France is called Tours Route or Via Turonensis. It starts in Paris up until Saint Jean Pied de Port. FYI in France there is 6 official routes to Santiago
I really, really hope you get a chance to complete your walk. More so, for your videos are wonderful. Love the content; and love your taste in music.
Thank you so much for you nice comment I will publish more soon :)
