Rick Steves, Movie Star

As it's a 2011 movie, if you aren't near one of the movie houses on the right day, it's also on Amazon and I've just found it on You Tube (it works in the UK anyway- maybe not in the US, I don't know)-

We love that movie, possibly because we love Spain, and have watched it numerous times. We bought a used DVD of it for a couple dollars about a year ago. Back in 2017 we planned a northern Spain trip around places in “The Way” as well as the 2014 movie “Ocho Apellidos Vascos.”

I have it on DVD also, it's a good film. I've watched it a couple of times and I have never been to Spain and probably will never get there. But I've always been intrigued by the idea of the Caminos and it's always interesting to read the reports of those who have done one or more of the routes.

Great film. I have it on dvd & watched it several times. We were scheduled to do RS tour Basque Country of Spain & France in 2020. Haven’t rescheduled yet but it’s on my list. The tour includes a half day walking the Camino.

Have watched a bunch of times. First saw it right before leaving on my 1st Camino in 2015, and of course watched it again after I got home and then again each time before going.
People that actually walk the Camino make fun of it a bit, because they are wearing jeans and probably 99.9% of the people walking are not wearing jeans. You never see them do laundry, no one has any blisters, and all of the stops are out of order. That said, it conveys a lot of the Camino, making friends especially. Not so much drama though.
Have walked with 3 women so far who were spreading ashes from their husbands along the way at certain spots.

For those of you thinking about it, it is far easier than what it looks like and you do not have to walk 800km of it to get a Compestela. Walk the last 100km, take your time, walk 10km per day, stay in the private rooms of albergues if you like, but you should at least sleep once in a dorm, to get the feeling of it. The Portuguese Camino from Porto is a lot easier too. The last 100km of that would start in Valenca, where you walk over a bridge from Spain to Portugal and into Tui.
There are 1000s of senior citizens walking, so join the crowd if you are retired and still want some adventure.
