Phil lives with Stage IV cancer and will fill you with the love and peace that he has found for himself. This film is a MUST SEE. Order copies of the 25-minute film. You can also find other cool pilgrim gifts such as a pocket book by Annie O’Neil called Everyday Camino with Annie and a copy of the movie Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago.
Wear a handmade beautiful bracelet made from earth from the Camino: These unique handmade bracelets, called Suseia (which means Onwards), are only available from Project Camino. The beads represent the journey along the Way. It is a great memento for the male or female pilgrim. You can order here but please allow sufficient shipping time as they are coming from Australia!

Get cooking with Yosmar Martinez’s cookbook Tastes of the Camino: We know that if you walked across Spain you ate some delicious food! After her pilgrimage, Yosmar decided to write a cookbook with some of her culinary favorites from each region along the Camino Frances. While it is available on Amazon, if you order directly from Yosmar you can get a signed and dedicated copy.
