The destination of the Camino de Santiago, as the name says, is to finally arrive at the city of Santiago de Compostela and more specifically, to the final point, which is not the cathedral, as many pilgrims believe, but the center of the Plaza del Obradoiro.

Now, since there are several ways to reach Santiago and to reach the Plaza del Obradoiro, we can think that one must offer a more pleasant or impactful experience than the rest, so in this video we are going to analyze the arrivals of the different routes at km 0, with a conclusion that will surprise many.

One of the things that are famous about the Xunta’s hostels on the Way of St. James, besides the mistreatment of many of its managers and the lack of blankets, is the lack of kitchenware in most of their kitchens.

We had proposed several solutions to this problem a year ago, including carrying a camping kitchen kit. This option is more economical but somewhat more uncomfortable, as you have to carry extra weight and volume.

We decided to do the experiment of cooking for many days in Galicia, using only this kit.

In this video we will talk about the kitchens of the Xunta’s hostels, our experience cooking with this minimal kitchenware; the positive and negative aspects; whether, in our opinion, it was worth it or not, and some ideas to reverse the situation.

The “winter way” (Camino de Invierno in Spanish) is a variant of the French way that pilgrims used to avoid the summit of O Cebreiro, which in winter is covered in snow and, together with the Sanabrese variant of the Via de la Plata, is the only uncrowded alternative to reach Santiago, even in popular months such as July and August.

In this video we will talk in detail about the route itself; its infrastructure; its landscapes; our experience of having done it in summer and our recommendations for those who want to do it in the future.

This video is dedicated to “Roger”, hospitalero of Ponferrada and bible of the Winter Way.

The Camino Inglés was the route used by British, Irish, and other Nordic pilgrims who arrived in Santiago by boat and then continued on foot.

This route is the shortest complete route and a good alternative to Sarria for those seeking a Compostela.

The video discusses the route itself, the speaker’s experiences in 2012 and 2024, changes to the route, and offers advice to those interested in walking this path.

There is a Camino de Santiago from the capital of Spain and it offers a unique, authentic and highly recommended experience.

In this video, we are going to talk in detail about the route itself; its infrastructure; its landscapes; our experience of having done it in summer and our recommendations for those who want to do it in the future.
