Welcome to www.mycamino.eu, the interactive side of all St. James pilgrims who were on the move between holy years 2004 and 2010 on “camino françes”, the so called ‘path to Santiago’ in northern spain.

As a journalist and videographer I walked on the “Camino” between the holy years. My wife stimulated me in 2004 to the idea of a cinematic long time documentation. From Saint Jean Pied de Port I have gone with the camera like my „third eye“ about 800 km to Santiago de Compostela and further up to Cap Finisterre in the Atlantic, divided in seven stages. Nearly 50 hrs of videotapes are recorded, largely in HDTV quality. At Xacobeo  2010 I have shot the first 3D-videos in Santiago. Composer and guitarist Heiner Rennebaum has produced to the pictures some instrumental pieces in the style ‘ambient music’. Texts of the St. James pilgrims combined thus to „illustrated audio/video books“. They provide the mood, the beauties, but also the strain on the St. James path to Santiago de Compostela.

mycamino.eu  is a video-channel updated consecutively. I did it when walking in summer 2011 and 2013 alone with smartphone / tablet PC on the coastline path so called Camino del Norte. The impressions are held on this platform, showing to friends and at home resistents.

After nearly ten years it pulled me once again back at the starting point of my St. James path, to Saint Jean Pied de port. And I met ‘ repeat attenders’ like the hostel warden Helmut from South Tirol.
