Walking 500 Miles Across Spain | Our 46-Day Camino Francés

Описание: What does it really feel like to walk the Camino Francés for 46 days — slowly, carrying your own pack across nearly 500 miles of Spain? This is our complete Camino de Santiago documentary, from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela, walking inn-to-inn through the Pyrenees, the Meseta, and into Galicia.

In 2025, we returned to the Camino Francés and chose a slower pace — 46 consecutive days with no rest days, averaging about 10.5 miles (16 km) per day. We pre-booked private rooms, stayed in albergues, country inns, paradores, and even a truck stop, and experienced the Camino in three phases: Body, Mind, and Soul.

This film includes:
• Crossing the Pyrenees (Valcarlos Route)
• Roncesvalles, Pamplona, Puente de la Reina, Logroño & Burgos
• The Meseta to León and Astorga
• Cruz de Ferro and O Cebreiro
• Samos Monastery
• The Sarria starting point
• Monte do Gozo and arrival in Santiago
• Pilgrim Mass and the Botafumeiro

If you're planning your first Camino de Santiago, considering a second walk, or researching long-distance inn-to-inn hiking in Spain, this video shows what a full 46-day Camino really looks like, the miles, the history, the small villages, the Roman roads, medieval bridges, and the emotional experience of walking across Spain.

Buen Camino.
