25.01.2022 WALKING THE CAMINO - SIX WAYS TO SANTIAGO A new documentary about the Camino de Santiago - walking the Camino Francés from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela - first released in 2014. In June 2015 Umbrella Entertainment (Melbourne) will be releasing around Australia in selective cinemas this high quality American documentary about six walking pilgrims (hence the subtitle) walking the Camino Francés. ... Camino Downunder was first introduced to this documentary in March, 2015 at the 10th Seniors Film Festival YOUNG AT HEART. Most film sessions at the Palace Cinemas in Leichhardt and Paddington, Sydney were sold out. It recommends all to see this documentary because of its production values and the manner in which the American director Lydia B. Smith recounts the various motivations and attitudes (the highs and lows) of her targeted six walking pilgrims. http://www.umbrellaent.com.au/movie/walking-the-camino/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOQMC7PuK24 https://www.facebook.com/umbrellaent.films?ref=hl THIS DOCUMENTARY FILM SHOULD NOT BE MISSED

22.01.2022 The last week of September, 2015 principal of Camino Downunder, Marc Grossman and based in Sydney, Australia is presenting Road to Santiago de Compostela in Singapore over two days on invitation by The Spain Tourism Board for South-East Asia and Australasia. In 2010 Marc was invited Spain Tourism to be its guest speaker to Manila and had the opportunity to present to a wide audience the magic of the Spanish pilgrimage routes at a number of locations in Makati City and Ateneo de Manila University. More South-East Asian presentations are planned next year.

09.01.2022 Next week in Sydney (Preview on Monday, 15 June + panel discussion) at the Hayden Orpheum, Cremorne and on 18 June at the Chauvel in Paddington, will be the release of the American pilgrimage documentary "Walking the Camino - Six Way to Santiago". If you enjoyed the fictional film THE WAY in 2012 (in Australia and New Zealand) and starring Martin Sheen, this documentary will take you further and most importantly, give you a real taste as to the physical challenges on each person's body. This great film is a reality check: the 800 km from the French/Spanish Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela is NOT a walk in the park. And yet, it is NOT intended for elite athletes either. My message: do not miss this documentary film.

07.01.2022 Last year Australians Friends of the Camino (located in Adelaide, South Australia) asked Marc Grossman, founder of Camino Downunder to summarise his connection with the Camino de Santiago. This is what he said in their newsletter (number 10): I first presented practical workshops on the Camino de Santiago in 2007 at a government adult education institution in the eastern suburbs of Sydney where I had been teaching Spanish part-time to adults for nearly 20 years. It was takin...g a huge amount of time and effort in preparing and producing innovative and good pedagogical materials (not including the marketing and promotion of this new service), which far outweighed any nominal monetary compensation. Consequently, by 2009 I had decided to go private and the Camino Downunder website (www.caminodownunder.com) was launched. Therefore, with this website, I was better able to add far more content to the practical courses and frequently update it, so by the second half of 2009, I was able to design, produce and publish my first publication: The guide for the Spanish Camino Walking the Camino Francés as a 21st century pilgrim. ISBN9780646514666. This preparation guidebook is now into its sixth edition and hopefully soon the analogue data will go digital for migration to mobile devices. In late 2010 and early 2011, I realised my goal to produce a set of highly accurate, waterproof walking maps which would make a practical difference: 30 all-weather walking maps Walking the Camino Francés from St-Jean- Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela. My core business is teaching French and Spanish and these languages and cultures are my passion. My love of walking, moving between cultures, using languages and making linguistic connections have all come together when I connect in so many different ways with the pilgrimage routes of western Europe. I walk from home to work and back 2 to 3 times a week and see myself in perpetual training and preparation for my next pilgrimage walk in Europe. I am proud of my Camino classes but never complacent, when I present these practical workshops for Australians and Kiwis who wish to be independent pilgrim walkers when undertaking their chosen Camino tracks in either Spain, France or Portugal. I know (from feedback) I make a difference in participants’ lives after they have undertaken our intensive one-day training session, improving their odds of arriving successfully and without injury at Santiago by giving them skills, knowledge and insights into minimising the pitfalls and challenges. Marc Grossman (NSW) From Marc’s website: There is a famous Spanish saying which applies to all beginning pilgrims : Para llegar a Santiago como un joven empieza el camino como un Viejo (to arrive in Santiago like a young person, begin the Camino like an old man) or, in other words... Start slow, go slow and monitor the show See more

04.01.2022 Camino Downunder's Marc Grossman will be one of three panelists after the viewing of the film "Walking the Camino - Six Ways to Santiago" on Monday, 15 June 2015 at the Hayden Orpheum in Cremorne (on Sydney's north side) at approximately 8.00 pm. The film session is at 6.30 pm. This is an extraordinary film - not to be missed - even if you are totally disinterested in walking the Spain pilgrimage routes.
