We went to see the film 'The Way' last night and I thought it was worth recommending. It stars Martin Sheen as a 60+ doing 'a long walk'. There's lots of lovely scenery and an uplifting ending.
''An American doctor named Tom Avery (Sheen) sets out on the famous Camino de Santiago trail in the Pyrenees to retrieve the body of his son, who perished in a tragic accident while attempting to complete the ancient Christian pilgrimage.
What begins as a journey of grief, however, soon takes on a profoundly spiritual meaning, as following his son's footsteps leads Tom to discover more about himself as a father and, indeed, as a man''
It's based on this book by Jack Hitt: Off the Road: A Modern Day Walk Down the Pilgrim's Route into Spain.
