This video is Part Five of my journey on the Camino Primitivo, a 320 km hike through northern Spain.
In this video, I leave Grandas de Salime (northern Spain) continuing to hike the Camino de Santiago - Camino Primitivo route. This video covers days eight and nine of my 320 km hike.
The Camino Primitivo is the original, the first Camino de Santiago and the path is from Oviedo to Santiago de Compestela.
This isn't a Camino de Santiago documentary. This is a video series that I made that documents my Camino Primitivo.
If you're planning on walking the Camino then I'd like to recommend the Camino Journal. It's a useful journal for walking the Camino de Santiago includes Camino Information, Spanish Phrase Book and Blank Lined Notebook and is available on Amazon here: amzn.to/40NGrhp

You are on a pilgramage. A spiritual ceremony. Every experience, good or bad, arising and passing away. Beginning the journey and ending the journey with gratitude. Enjoy the mystery.

Not everyone who’s walks the Camino is on a pilgrimage and when you go to sleep trusting the people on the journey with you and then wake up with gear missing it’s normal to not feel “grateful”

I’ve had my camera stolen while trekking through Thailand. While the camera was replaced, the memory card full of images was irreplaceable. It was a sickening feeling and it took me a few days to get over it. I have been enjoying your Camino videos and hope to be there next fall. It’s refreshing to see someone be so honest about their ups & downs. Thank you for sharing this incredible journey!

I am happy to hear you got your walking poles back. They really are essential. What can happen at times is people mix up the poles, and when they realize they double back. I have had that happen, but luckily I took the poles of a pilgrim I knew, and they noticed my poles were there even though I left, so they figured I made a mistake. Not my brightest moment on the Frances but as the advice goes, do not assume malice where ineptitude is a perfectly good explanation.

@virginiamorris92 Год назад

It’s amazing that ppl still brought them back to you and drove to help you out with that. ‘’When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’’- Fred Rogers

@TrailguidePictures Год назад

Yes it is, mine and the other man’s. I believe whoever had them either realized that they took something that didn’t belong to them or thought they’d get caught. The hotel manager who drove them to us was nice to do so but we both told him that we wanted the police involved so that he could make an insurance claim and we could be reimbursed.

@michelemoran3267 2 года назад

Oh that owner/chef of cantabrica gave 4 of us the best breakfast @ 6am. So glad he delivered those sticks. I've hardly ever put them in the bucket. Those sore shins are a sign of strenuous or too many long klms days & can lead to shin splints. As the saying goes 'Trust others but tether your camel.' Love

@IslamicOrigins 2 года назад

I think one thing you can do is put your poles in your bag so they are not out of your reach. A spirit of detachment can be a great thing to develop over time, even while protecting your essentials which are your wallet and passport. My inflatable mat failed on day 1 and I held onto it giving it a second go to see if it could be salvaged. Eventually, I had to bin it and use my backpack as my mat which worked but was not much fun. (I carried a bivvy tent with me.) In my experience, this spirit leads me to trust people far more and it usually is reciprocated in the long run. For example, a woman returned the trust by giving me a huge apartment instead of and for the price of a cheap hotel room. Another sign of this detachment is letting go when a schedule is thrown by a 24 hour tummy bug. It was hard to do but eventually after much persuasion from another, I gave in. My general attitude now is "no one wants my bag of crap", and generally 99 times out of 100 that's true. It has taken me 10 years to learn this, and it was usually because people's kindness when things go wrong is so overwhelming that it outshines mishaps.

Ola Jason, ich versuche zu erklären, Zu Wegemarkierung "Muschelsymbole und gelben Pfeilen" Die gelbe Muschel als Wegweiser wird in Galicien umgekehrt als vorherig interpretiert und dargestellt. Während es in "Asturien" so dargestellt war dass der Scheitelpunkt der Muschel das Ziel (Santiago)darstellt auf das alle Wege zulaufen, wird die Muschel nun in Galicien als eine Hand interpretiert, deren Strahlen gleich Finger in Richtung Santiago zeigen. Leider wird es dann in der Praxis nicht immer konsequent auch so dargestellt, "es ist mal so - oder anders herum". Sichtbar wird diese Änderung der Wegweisung etwa bei "Videopunkt Minute 5 wenn sie auf der Rückseite des "Alto del Acebo Passes" die Grenze der "Autonomen Gemeinschaft Asturien" nach Galicien passiert haben. Orientieren Sie sich an den gelben Pfeilen auch wenn sie nicht immer in Sicht und Laufrichtung angebracht sind. Zur Sicherheit des Pilgerns. Der Pilger geniest grundsätzlich ein hohes Maß von Ansehen bei der Bevölkerung in Spanien und ganz besonders bei den Menschen am Weg! Es ist dem Einzelnen ein freudiges Bedürfnis dem Pilger auf dem "Camino de Santiago zu helfen, wann immer Sie gefragt werden, denn Sie sehen darin eine Geste der Verehrung ihres nationalen "Schutzpatrons Jakobus" (Santiago). Der Pilger auf dem Weg steht unter Ihrem besonderen Schutz, bis hin zur kostenlosen Gesundheitsversorgung, in den Gesundheitszentren und bei den niedergelassenen Ärzten. Niemand fragt nach Versicherung oder verlangt von einem Pilger Geld. Dem ehrbaren Wanderer mit "Pilgerausweis" Nachweis wird geholfen, einschließlich des Transportes ins Krankenhaus und zurück! Quelle - aus eigener Erfahrung. Was mir Sorge bereitet ist das sich zunehmend Scharlatane und Gesindel aus den unterschiedlichsten Ländern auf dem Weg herumtreibt und sich unter die Pilger mischen, um ihr Unwesen zu treiben. Oder auch Tagestouristen, (auch motorisierte ) die mit allen Mitteln versuchen günstige Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten zu erlangen und so dem "Fußpilger" das Bett streitig machen. Meiden Sie die öffentlichen Herbergen. Private Herbergen sind zwar etwas teurer aber besser ausgestattet und organisiert. Dort bekommen Sie meistens ein günstiges Abendessen und auch mal ein privates Zimmer zu einem guten Preis. Persönliche Dinge behalten Sie besser immer Auge und bitten Sie würdige Mitpilger/innen aufzupassen wenn Sie zum Beispiel im Gemeinschaftsbad sind. Buen Camino wünscht Ihnen Ernst

@cindykawa2492 Год назад

More gorgeous views! Glad you got your trekking poles back, too bad the tips are gone but the poles are more important. Sorry about your toe.

@neiss2 5 месяцев назад

Nice videos and hiking adventures! My take on what happened with your walking poles is that, given that they were not stolen but apparently taken by mistake, and since they were brought to you by car by the people from the hostel, one should not lose faith in humanity but quite the opposite. As for the missing pole tips, you reminded me of Humphrey Bogart in the scene of Captain Queeg and the missing frozen strawberries 😁 I think the idea of the Camino is precisely to stop being a slave to the tyranny of perfection and the missing pole tips 😉

@TrailguidePictures 5 месяцев назад

3 pairs of poles were missing that morning. There's no reason to have a feel-good mentality when someone takes what does not belong to them. There are jerks in the world. The idea of the camino is to do a distance walk. It's not a spiritual journey, nor has it been for a long, long time (for most people who do it). Good luck to you if you do the walk (or something more challenging) and your gear goes missing.

@neiss2 5 месяцев назад

@@TrailguidePictures ok, ok, agree that having your gear stolen sucks, I would be mad too. But it was returned to you and brought back by car the next day, so why not pick the good side of the story? As for the Camino being a spiritual journey, I totally agree with you, it should be lived as a nice hike, nothing more. People nowadays are spiritual junkies, they crave anything that elevates their minds and makes them unique.

We’ve done a couple of Caminos including over 1000km from Seville. Walked the last 500km on a broken foot so I feel your pain. Apropos your poles, I’d be really pissed as well. There’s quite a lot of happy clappy nonsense talked about the Camino and how we’re all supposed to be magnanimous but at the end of the day it’s your kit and no one else should be waking off with it.

@valyd45 2 года назад

Wow. So sorry to hear how things went for you. I feel exactly as you do. It’s maddening to see humanity behave the way they do. Very few of us are honest and wouldn’t think to steal another’s belongings let alone just touching them. It’s not about getting over it and moving on. Nobody should have taken them to begin with. Yes fortunately you got them back. But the fact is that your possessions that you depend on were taken and caused you hardship. Most in this world have no moral compass. This was a sobering video and I at least felt your disgust.

@TrailguidePictures 2 года назад

You know, I was pissed off but what really added to my upset was that the older man who also had his sticks taken was upset and told me that his were a gift from his children before he left to walk. So they had sentimental value to him.

I love your videos, and I've chosen to watch them because they give such detailed info on the views you can encounter on the Camino Primitivo, the highlights and challenges. I noticed however that you are really getting petty with life situations. You'll meet honest and lovely people as well as those who have been hurt by life and circumstances and are acting on different sets of values. This is normal and you can see it everywhere. I'm really sorry that going out of your comfort zone didn't allow you to let go of certain things. These views are definitely worth experiencing certain challenges and I again thank you for those clips, so I know which camino to choose now. I hope life will treat you well and you'll learn to adjust to the greatness of the Universe so only great things will come your way. 🤗💜🙌

@Vixenventures 2 года назад

Shitty people are always there to temp dragging you down when you're already struggling, but it isn't worth it. For you, for your trip, for this time in your life when you set off to accomplish something. They're not worth it, they don't deserve that much of your energy, and you deserve better than to have your trip semi ruined because of that person who may not be giving it any thought, or could always have been an accident. I have several people in my family that are thoughtless that way. It's not okay, but it's not always malicious. For me personally, I think it's pretty bold and awesome to go and accomplish and endeavor like this. It's very inspiring. Mental fortitude comes from all kinds of challenges in life. 💜

@TrailguidePictures 2 года назад

@IslamicOrigins 2 года назад

I really feel for you in your annoyance. How petty it was for a thief to rob them! I will never understand the mentality of those that steal from others, especially when poles are placed in a place of trust.

@TrailguidePictures 2 года назад

Precisely, I think that's what I found the most annoying. I do a lot of outdoor activities and I've always felt that there's an unspoken code to take care of each other when doing something like that. I guess the Camino de Santiago isn't the same type of experience and attracts all kinds.

@IslamicOrigins 2 года назад

@@TrailguidePictures One possibility struck me. It might be that someone had identical poles, except for not having the tips, and took what they thought was theirs and put them in their bag, then forgetting their poles, went back to keep their poles to go walking. They realised they had a second set and brought them back but brought back the wrong set. Some people are on automatic for a couple of hours in morning and don't fully wake up until coffee. I myself have left my poles behind on 3 occasions, twice I went back for but the other time I tried to get them passed on and in the end they were left behind as a gift for another walker than might need them.

@TrailguidePictures 2 года назад

@@IslamicOrigins I though that initially but then found out another man also had his poles taken. I kept questioning whether they were really stolen, even when I got them back, but when I got them back the soft rubber tips were gone. So there’s no question, someone took mine and the other guys and removed my tips. I think they realized they might get caught and put them back.
