Meals
fill

All breakfasts and 11 dinners are included in this tour. We have carefully selected the included meals so you can have a taste of the most typical, most delicious, local cuisine.
We excluded 4 dinners when we stay in main cities (Pamplona, Logroño, Burgos and León) which offer a large variety of dinner options. This way you have the freedom to stroll through the city and discover it on your own. Our guides will always be around and can give all the recommendations you need. Most lunches are not included to provide more flexibility during the day and so you can experiment on your own. You can stop and eat something along the way, or have lunch at the end of the daily stage.
Vegetarians, vegans, or those with a special diet (eg. gluten-free) can always find suitable options. Just let us know beforehand and we will be happy to accommodate your needs.

Accommodation

All of our accommodations are hand-picked to give you the best possible experience.
We will stay in charming hotels in bigger cities and typical Galician manors as we enter rural Galicia. The manors are usually in rural areas, that used to be the homes of important people in the community in the past such as kings or noblemen. They form part of the cultural experience. Usually they are located in privileged areas surrounded with green, peaceful scenery. All our accommodations have a private en suite bathrooms. You can be sure to receive personalized attention and excellent service from the owners, who will make you feel more than at home.

Walking

You walk at your own pace. There is no one you have to follow or walk with. We have meeting points along the way where our support vehicle will be waiting with snacks, fruit and water and to make sure everything is OK. We also offer assistance for any unexpected circumstances or simply to relieve muscular pain or cure blisters.

Don’t worry about getting lost. Moreover, on the Camino you are never alone. If you do not want to keep walking for any reason, you can hop on the support vehicle or be taken back to the hotel. After the daily walk, and after we’ve all had lunch we will head back to the hotel where we can shower, freshen up and have a much-deserved rest.

Before and After
fill

Before: We meet in the city of Pamplona on the first day. You can arrive a few days before the tour to enjoy the city if you’d like. It takes about three hours on the high-speed train from Madrid, where most international flights land. You can check timetables and prices online. The ticket can be bought directly online, or at the station if you come 45 minutes before the departure time, We can make the reservations for you at your request. There are also short flights to Pamplona from Spain’s main cities, like Madrid and Barcelona.

After: Our tour ends in Santiago de Compostela on the last day at around 1:00 pm. Transportation back to Madrid is NOT included.
We offer optional add-on activities once it is finished like a one-day trip to Finisterre, culinary activities in Santiago, and tour through Celtic Galicia (A Coruña). You can join one of our activities, stay in Santiago on your own, or leave on the last day of the tour. We recommend flying from Santiago to Madrid, which is the best and easiest option. There are plenty of flights throughout the day, and the flight has a duration of one hour. You can book online or through your travel agency.

Extra hotel reservations: If you would like to stay in Pamplona, Madrid or Santiago for a few days before the tour, we’d be happy to send you a list of hotels we work with and assist you with the reservations.
