A metaphor of what the characters change during the three decades, to show from the most characteristic and emblematic to the most intimate and unknown.

Nature will also be an indisputable character in the series where we can see multiple roads, rivers, parks, reservoirs … that run along the Camino.

 

The locations photographed by Tommie Ferreras (PDO of the series) and written down by scriptwriters Alberto Macías and Juanra Ruiz, who have been collecting the premises given by one of the directors, Tito López Amado, have been numerous. An experience that has served the team not only for the realization of the locations, but also to live the experience of the realization of El Camino and feel the Xacobeo spirit.

The Camino is another protagonist in this story, which makes the project a constant movement that will show the great landscapes and places of the Camino de Santiago internationally.

 

 

The series is having a great reception in the communities where it will be filmed, in fact, the team has had the help of Nieva Uriz Domezáin (development of tourism products) in Navarra, which has been able to teach them all the most interesting secrets and places of community.
