I have been working through my previous Caminos, creating content for my YouTube channel (plug, plug!!) and I have just finished creating a video from my Camino Finisterre in 2016. I can't believe that was 4 years ago. Fun fact - I actually planned to walk this in May 2016 but I broke my toe... Continue Reading →
Weekend Watch # 72 – Efren’s Camino Inglés from Ferrol
It was May 2019. It felt like a lifetime ago. Myself and my brother started out from Ferrol at the end of May and a few days later walked into Santiago having detoured to A Coruna. It was a short sweet Camino and one I would love to walk again, but maybe from Ferrol. Efren,... Continue Reading →

Post-Camino Blues
Hello everyone. I arrived back home on the 19th of May, having reached Santiago de Compostela on the 14th of May.
