Aventuras a Pie (de Página)Dodona was an important city-sanctuary in ancient Greece, famous for having the oldest oracle.
Located in the region of Epirus at the foot of Mount Tomaros, this sanctuary was surpassed in prestige only by the oracle of Delphi.
Among the ruins preserved to this day are a theater, a stadium, the foundations of temples, and other public buildings.
Ancient Corinth was one of the important city-states of Ancient Greece.
In this video we are going to show you in detail the ruins of Ancient Corinth, not only covering the official archaeological site, but also many ruins outside, never before shown.
It is important to clarify one very important thing about Greece in general and about sites like Corinth and Athens in particular.
There are many archaeological sites that are not indicated in any way, neither on signs, nor on maps, nor in official information; sometimes it is necessary to investigate a lot and to wander around and explore in person and all that is a lot of work.

The Examilia quarry was an important source of stone, not only for the large works nearby the Corinth Isthmus, such as the Examilia Wall and Acrocorinth, but also for works in distant places like Athens.
In this video, we explore the area, including some ruins never before filmed.
We explore the city of Elea, the first classical city of Epirus and probably the most unknown archaeological site in all of Greece.
This archaeological site can only be visited on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm and the entrance costs 3 euros per person.
Unfortunately there is no public transport, it can only be accessed by car because the road is in a ruined state.
In this video, we visit the necromanteio or “oracle of the dead”, the only one throughout all of Greece.
In this sanctuary, dedicated to Hades and to Persephone, it is found in excellent condition.
The Examilia Wall, or Justinian’s Wall, was a large wall that protected against land attacks in the Peloponnese.
It was built during Byzantine times and repaired many times. In this video, we visit 4 sections of the wall, the fortification, and other sites, as well as explaining its history.
The movie “The Way” is probably the most famous about the Camino de Santiago, and it introduced the pilgrimage to the whole world. But does it accurately represent the experience of the road?
In this video, we analyze the movie, from the perspective of pilgrims and focusing mainly on how the road is represented; how much of what it shows is real and how much is poetic license.
