Camino Frances

Another impression from the Camino Frances,
nice combination of stills and moving images.
Memories for those who saw,
perhaps desires for those who will.

The original way (Asturia part)

Another documentary from WIA of Spain, a nice impression of the villages of views, churches and food along the Camino Primitivo.
Nice, but too bad it only covers the route in Asturia, so this impression ends at Grandas de Salime.

Where in Asturias

WIA also published a documentary on the Camino del Norte.

The coastal Route (Asturia part)

Documentary from Where is Asturias.
Introducing the Way of St James from Ribadedeva to San Tirso de Abres.
So it covers part of the Camino del Norte.

CH, F and ES


A somewhat artistic impression
from Nouly (3 months of Walking, El Camino in Winter).

Nouly's own words:
"In the winter of 03/04 I walked to Santiago de Compostela. It took me two weeks to cross Switzerland from east to west. Crossing France from Geneva to St-Jean-Pied-de-Port took 6 weeks and was quite hard: It was cold and often rainy, there are few hours of daylight and it can be difficult to find accommodation. On the other hand everyone in France was very supportive and you form a special bond with the few pilgrims you meet. Crossing northern Spain from mid January to mid February was bliss. There's no real off season for the Camino from Pamplona to Santiago, people who do the camino in winter might be a bit quirkier though - which is all the more interesting. Still freezing cold at times with some snow, but you never spend an evening neither alone nor in a crowded place. Any time of year and wherever you start from: just START WALKING!"
