Doing the Camino is a tremendous experience and this film certainly captivates the beautiful scenery, atmosphere, challenge, at times pain and fun of it all. It's hard to see how it could've been done any better as all the actors do a fine job. And it certainly is true, that the variety of characters one meets on the trail is fairly similar to those depicted in the film. Maybe i'll get on the trail a third time next year as it's set to be a special holy year after hopefully the coronavirus crisis is resolved. We live in hope...:)
