Something grand

Here's a link to a documentary by Matthew Anderson.

He says...
"Below you will find a Vimeo link to my 2012 film “Something Grand”, a 26-minute journey with pilgrims starting out on the 800-km trek to Santiago, as I ask them: “Why are you doing this?”"

Biking San Salvador and Primitivo

The Camino San Salvador is a camino not often done by bike. These cyclists did just that. In both movies they cycled the route between Leon and Oviedo and moved on to the Camino Primitivo to continue to Santiago de Compostela.

Enjoy the stills in the first and the movement in the second.

Camino Primitivo

A meditative journey on a silent path.
About 320 kilometers from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela.

They took the Hospitales route. Some say this route along the three hospitales ruines is landscapewise one of the most beautiful pieces of the several camino's.
I agree, it's beautiful!
This presentation provides a good overview of the paths of this camino.

Hikes, the best?

This compilation of hikes isn't specific on pilgrimage. 
However a few, like in Peru or Jordan, probably qualify ;-)
And, depending on definition, other do also!

It's an overview of, however subjective, a topten of hikes around our earth.

Get inspired.

Camino del Norte

The Camino del Norte is a camino growing in popularity.
Is it the crowded Camino Frances, the heritage status or just the beautiful environment pulling the pilgrim?

Have a look..
