Aventuras a Pie (de Página)We visited the archaeological site of Cape Sounion, the temple to Poseidon and the other remains, as well as telling 3 curiosities…
Cape Sounion or Sunion was a key site in antiquity for guarding the shipping lanes both to Athens, as well as the famous silver mines of Laurium, the reason for Athens’ wealth.
Today it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the vicinity of the Greek capital, promoted by travel guides as the ideal place to enjoy the sunset.
The “sunken city” of Old Epidaurus/Palea Epidavros (in Greek) is probably the most popular and known of the underwater ruins of Greece.
However, and unknown to the general public, there are other ruins in the vicinity beyond the famous “Roman villa” and the buildings that surround it, and in this video we will explore those ruins.

The Tiryns dam is one of the most important hydraulic engineering works in Greece and Europe of the Mycenaean era, although it is found hidden in plain sight.
This work consisted of two parts: a large retaining wall over 50 meters long and 10 meters high, and a canal one and a half kilometers long that carried the waters of three streams to another river in the vicinity to discharge into the sea.
This enormous work was done 3500 years ago to prevent floods in the population of Tiryns.
Sikyon was an important city-state of the Corinthian domain of renowned fame at an artistic level.
In this video, we are going to explore its ruins as well as its archaeological museum.
The saying “The tourist demands and the pilgrim thanks” is likely the biggest misunderstanding of the Camino de Santiago.
Intended to represent the humility of the pilgrim in interactions with others, it is manipulated by various actors to the detriment of the same, and definitely requires an update.
In this video, we will analyze the different injustices suffered by the pilgrims and at the end of the video we will update the phrase.
I would like to review the rules of coexistence… due to the fact that in recent times, there are multiple articles in the newspapers about bad pilgrimage behavior; from assaults on hosts to staging scenes in village festivals; all true, sad and regrettable situations.
We include the rules in the hostels, on the road, with the other pilgrims, in the cities, in Santiago and on social media.

Ancient Messene is by far one of the best archaeological sites in all of Greece, having more variety of ruins and much better preserved than other sites of much greater renown such as Athens, Delphi, and Corinth.
In this video, we explain in detail why we think it is a great site worth exploring.
We are going to explore Thorikos; excellent ruins with a lot of history, and the most important population of Laurion, the famous silver mines place, Athens’ success secret.
In this video, we analyze the advantages and disadvantages of doing it alone or in company, as well as the possible companies and which paths are more convenient in each case.
