Another beautiful video, Nick. Glad you met up with Dan. Another member to your ever increasing Camino family. Looking forward to your next video. Enjoy your journey. 🍺🍺🍺
Hey Nick! It's Tom from Ireland. Your video brought back good memories of the rain in Paladin!! Brilliant stuff! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the series. I've just uploaded a few videos of the journey myself - but just for a bit of fun. I didn't plan to make videos so I don't have a lot of footage this year....but it's a great way of processing the journey once you're back home again. Cheers!! Talk to you later!
Hey mate 👋. They are useful. I’d barely remember where I was and in what order without making the videos 😂😂. You really should publish that book mate! 😊
Hi Nick, it's Grace. Wow, the Primitivo looks so beautiful. Yes, it does look a bit more challenging, but I must admit, seeing you with Dan was really fun for you both. Thanks for the video. It's quite beautiful 😍
Hopefully you will Grace. Even the hardships are part of the story in the end and all those moments are what makes it all so special. I’m excited for you 😊❤️
I leave for the Primitivo in 39 days. My third Camino, first two were the Frances from St Jean. Would you say it is much more difficult than the Frances in regards to terrain?
I completely agree 👍. It’s most likely the one of the oldest official routes called a Camino de Santiago with Bishop Teodomirus announcing the discovery of the remains in around the year 800 but people were walking a pilgrimage across Spain a long long time before there was ever even a place called Santiago de Compostela. Even the routes keep changing with most of the yellow arrows being placed in the 1980s. Whichever route I take though I know it will be brimming with history, legends and a feeling that I might be walking in ancient footsteps 😊
The arrows were painted in 1986 by Don Elias Valina. He was from the church in O Cebeiro. He went to study at the Fonseca college in Salamanca. He discovered the fact that the Frances was in danger of being forgotten. He took it on himself to kickstart the Camino route. He set off with his old car and gallons of yellow paint to mark the route. Along the way he managed to get support from local people who assisted him. The stone markers and shell signs were as a result of his efforts. Sadly he died in 1989 so didn't see the effects of his work. .@NickLivingLife
