[Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] [Music] Must [Music] be evolution. almost [Music] [Music] heat. [Music] We’re rafting. [Music] [Music] Well, we are back. We did it in 2024 and we’re back for 2025. We’re here the layer lighter. How’s it going everyone? We’re going to try and map our journey. uh stay with us and um try and get it much better than we got it last night. Very very hot. I think it’s about 34 at the moment. About to be a heat wave through the weekend and early next week. So yeah. So it’s going to be a different walk this year, but just as good. I hope so. Stay with us. Hot already. Oh, absolutely beautiful up here. Snow gets meters deep in the winter time. The Pyrenees in the distance. And now it’s a bit of a walk up into what they call old town here around the castle walls and up and into the streets. [Music] [Music] It’s the old fortification walls right in front of us up into old town. Oh. Wow. Py in the background there. Amazing. Okay, here we go. Not so good for the suitcase wheels, but these beautiful little restaurants and cafes through here or catering to the pilgrims starting here with their journey to Santiago and beyond to finish there. Lots of Orbergs, Donativos, hotels, [Music] and they’re all ancient and medieval mostly. Very cool. English. So, we’re now in the pilgrim office where we get our passport. Our pilgrim passports. So, all along the way we need to get stamps at churches, cafes, places we sleep, stay. They all have their own beautiful original stamps. We need to collect them and fill up these passports. And when we arrive in Santiago in 790 km time, we will get a certificate based on that called a compostella. That’s what we’re going for. Compostella number two. It’s our room. Balari orberg. Yeah. Very hot up here. Top of the stairs. Third floor. Beautiful little traditional place. As you can see, courtyard. [Music] One of the three outdoor shops. [Music] down here. [Music] Jesus. [Music] The main street of Sentin Porto. Beautiful little town. As most people know, the starting point of the French way Camino. Let’s make our way down to the river here. This is the famous area from the way the movie and I just love it. Medieval villages, wine grown on the hill beside the villages you go through. It just have a certain vibe and a certain feel to the whole thing. It really is fantastic. [Music] Quick look on the other side. [Applause] Can’t wait to start tomorrow. This is the rampart walls to protect the village few hundred years ago. [Music] [Applause] [Music] I miss me rolling in base of the mountains there. Golf in the town looks amazing.
