Aventuras a Pie (de Página)In this video, we tell you why Greece is paradise for ruin and ancient lovers.
In summary, ancient Greece has left more ruins than anyone can imagine, as well as ruins of all eras, and the majority of the ruins can be visited for free, many of them with free access.
In this video, we show you only a few of the many ruins that Greece has.

In the video, the distances, the difficulty and the beauty of the route are included.
In this first video of the year, we explore the Ripollès Way, one of the many Ways of St. James that crosses Catalonia and that even some Catalans are unaware of.
We walk from Sant Quirze de Besora to Sabadell, passing through Manlleu, Vic, Tona, Centelles, Figaró, Granollers and other villages.
Unfortunately we were not able to film the Ripoll-Sant Quirze section.
As part of the video, we show 2 paths to get to Ripoll, the Coll d’Ares, which some consider the beginning of the Ripollès path and the Camí del Segre, which starts in Puigcerdà.
The official path ends in Palou, where it joins other paths in the Pyrenees and Cap de Creus in the direction of Sabadell, Terrassa, Montserrat, which we have already covered in another video.
We are not aware of there being hostels on this road, so you have to use hostels and hotels or do it in one stage.
We didn’t see any other walkers on all the days of the journey.
And one last tip for adventurers and weekend pilgrims: the section shown in this video is possible to get the recurring Rodalies season ticket since the last station in zone 6 is Sant Quirze and the path runs parallel to the R3 line. (We know that the subscription was not intended for non-work purposes, but we wanted to communicate the possibility).
Here, we’ll explore the biggest mistakes in planning a Camino and we’ll give you advice on how to avoid them.
This path starts at the port of Barcelona, crosses the city, passing through the Gothic quarter, Paseo de Gracia, and leaves the city next to the labyrinth of Horta, passes through Sant Cugat, Terrassa, Varicasses, Monistrol and ends at the Monastery of Montserrat.
In this video, we cover the entire journey to Montserrat.

The Camino de Santiago route from L’Hospitalet is one of the two Camino de Santiago routes that begin in Barcelona.
This route starts at the Church of Santa Eulalia, where the coast reached in the Middle Ages and where a small hospital once stood, welcoming travelers and pilgrims (hence the name of the neighborhood).
The route passes through L’Hospitalet, Molins de Rei, Martroll, Abrera, Esparraguera, and Collbató, ending at the Monastery of Montserrat.
The Catalan Way then continues towards Igualada.
In this video, we cover the entire route to Montserrat.

This video explores the Burgos-León section of the French Way to Santiago, also known as the Meseta.
It is considered a hard section, with very little shade and boring, due to the lack of variety in the landscapes… and especially in summer.
We did it express, compressing several stages…
Day 1: Burgos-Convent of San Anton
Day 2: Convent of San Anton-Frómista
Day 3: Frómista-Lédigos
Day 4: Lédigos-Bercianos del Real Camino
Day 5: Bercianos del Real Camino-Puente Villarente
Day 6: Puente Villarente-León
León

This video explores 7 of the biggest misunderstanding of the Camino de Santiago, of the pilgrims, the governments and the public in general.
Misunderstanding #1: There is only one Santiago Way
Misunderstanding #2: The way can be walked in the direction of Santiago
Misunderstanding #3: The way is full of people in summer.
Misunderstanding #4: The Santiago Way is cheap.
Misunderstanding #5: The way is made based on arrows…
Misunderstanding #6: The route of the way does not change…
Misunderstanding #7: Where does the Santiago Way end? Where is the KM 0 of the way?
