Our national tv broadcasted a four part UK documentary about life in the Pyrenees , made by Michael Portillo whose father was Spanish.
Highly recommended .

Have seen this. It's worth watching as he has a real affinity for Spain as well as speaking Spanish. He also has a place near Seville and spends a lot of time there when not filming other travel programmes.
 
Ooh, thank you @SabsP I wonder if there will be glimpses of the beautiful Camino Baztan and Aragones Way. I'll have to watch to find out. Merci. Gracias.

Let us keep the focus please on his tv work and not on his political career.
Would be nice if this thread stays open.

I should have been clearer on the intent of my jape-- it was to compliment his creative work, and only note in passing to any public office. His personal trajectory as the son of a noted Spanish Loyalist official is also worthy of consideration and this was a significant element in his Spanish train documentary.
 
More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
That’s how I understood your comment!
 
Camino Way markers in Bronze
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Mr Portillo also walked the Camino in 1999 I think, not sure if he made a documentary of it as it was at a difficult point in his life.
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-

There was an article in The Observer at the time about his walk from Samos to Santiago. Still available on the Guardian website.
