. CHAPTERS 00:00 Irun to Santander in nine seconds 00:09 A tough start - up and up and up 05:52 San Sebastian - a beautiful city 13:38 Izarbide Aterpetxea: Forests and views to die for 18:55 Bilbao and a 20k walk uphill 23:32 Castro-Uridales - history before the Romans 30:18 Sunset in Santona 34:59 Catching the ferry to Santander I began walking the Camino del Norte in Irun, northern Spain, with my New York friend Patrick in April 2026. Thirteen days and around 249 kilometres later, we reached Santander. Family business eventually called me back home, but not before I had fallen in love with this extraordinary pilgrimage — spectacularly beautiful, but challenging to say the least. The mountain climbs were long and difficult. There were times when I genuinely felt like quitting. But powerful forces were close at hand and, when I needed Him most, I believe God guided me to a safe place. This is my personal video account of that journey, filmed on an iPhone 14 Pro in 4K 60fps. My intention was to create a film that focused almost exclusively on the extraordinary beauty of northern Spain in glorious springtime. I hope you enjoy the wonderful sunsets, the mountains, the villages and cities, the forests and trees — and, most importantly, the amazing pilgrims I met along the way. They cared for me, encouraged me, loved me and accompanied me through a journey across one of the world's most beautiful countries. The full Camino del Norte is around 830 kilometres — and I am planning to return next year to to complete the journey — finishing in front of one of the world's most beautiful cathedrals in Santiago de Compostela. Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I enjoyed making it.
