Day 1 on the Camino: The Pyrenees Nearly Broke Me

Four years ago, I set out to walk the Camino Frances… and Day 1 hit me harder than I expected. The Pyrenees are no joke. What looks like a beautiful start quickly turns into a real endurance test both physically and mentally. In this video, I talk about what that first day actually felt like, what caught me off guard, and why it matters if you’re thinking about doing the Camino Frances yourself. I’m also reviving this channel as I get ready to walk the Camino Portuguese this September. If you’ve ever thought about doing something like this, especially later in life like me, you’re in the right place. More to come and.... thanks! – Ed #caminodesantiago #caminofrances #caminoportugues #travel #over50
