Our Camino de Santiago holidays & tours

Our Camino de Santiago holidays can be addictive. You get up, you walk, you talk or disappear into your own thoughts, you eat, sleep, repeat. Life can be very simple on the Camino. Whether or not you’re a spiritual person, making this long-distance pilgrimage is a therapeutic experience, good for the soul. And the many people you’ll encounter along the way are all united by a shared goal in reaching the endpoint, the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain.

A vast infrastructure has developed across the region to serve walkers, and our Camino de Santiago tours proudly recommend locally owned hotels and guest houses, restaurants, cafes and shops where tired and hungry pilgrims can find solace. By doing so, they give you an authentic taste of the culture along the route you’re following and ensure that communities benefit substantially from tourism. You can complete a route over several weeks, an exhausting feat not to be underestimated, or do it in stages, perhaps over years. And as our range of Camino holidays demonstrates, you can walk it, cycle it, kayak it, combine it with yoga or Spanish lessons, take the family, even go on horseback. There is no right way to do the Camino de Santiago, everyone is on their own journey.

Highlights of our Camino de Santiago holidays

The French Way

The most popular Camino route by some distance is the French Way, walked by many thousands of pilgrims every year. The route travels for 800km from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France through Spain to Santiago de Compostela, on terrain that is well marked and mostly paved. The final stretch, from Sarria across Galicia, is the most renowned and consequently the busiest, taking you through peaceful villages, meadows strewn with flowers, and across rivers.

Our Camino de Santiago holidays along the French Way use lovely family-run hotels, and recommend excellent small restaurants where you can tuck into the traditional cuisine of northern Spain, such as the tentacle-tastic octopus dishes of Melide. In Galicia, a region where some 10 percent of the population are directly employed in tourism, holidaying responsibly can make all the difference.

The Northern Way

The Northern Way extends for around 800km from Irun, or San Sebastian, to Santiago de Compostela, following the Basque coast then continuing through Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia. Early sections can be quite challenging, with daily ascents and descents of 250-350m, but it flattens out around the middle. It doesn’t get the crowds of the French Way, but the Northern Way is well marked, and there are plenty of locally run hotels and guest houses all the way that our holidays will book in advance for you.

Some of the big draws on this route are Bilbao, with its Guggenheim art gallery, and San Sebastian, famed for its delicious pintxos. But Northern Way pilgrims also love the long sandy beaches where they can cool off feet that have been walking all day, dramatic coastal views, and the regional food. You can dine on seafood fresh off the boat in San Vicente de la Barquera, and toast your day’s adventures in the cider houses of Asturias. Our holidays provide you with detailed route notes that include a selection of local restaurant recommendations for everywhere you spend the night, helping you to escape the big chains to enjoy authentic northern Spanish cuisine.

The Portuguese Way

When we discuss the Portugal Way, we’re actually talking about two different routes that split after the city of Porto, one of which follows the Atlantic and Galician coast, and another that heads inland. The trails then come together again on the other side of the Spanish border in the village of Redondela before finishing, as all Caminos do, in Santiago de Compostela.

Both routes are quite flat, making this one of the most easy-going Caminos, so the major differences tend to be in the landscapes that you’ll experience. Will you be dining on fresh seafood, or hearty rural fare, every night? Our holidays prove that a little local knowledge can go a long way. We know the well-kept secrets in villages you’ll pass along the way, from hidden beaches to great restaurants off the tourist radar. Many of the communities you’ll be walking through see few tourists beyond Camino pilgrims, so our holidays that encourage you to ‘spend locally’ as much as possible provide a real boost to their economies.

Cycling the Camino

Our pedalling pilgrimages usually follow the French Way, getting underway in either Leon or Astorga, then heading west to Santiago de Compostela and covering around 300km. In some cases they will use small roads alongside the main path, though, which helps to reduce traffic on it, and erosion. Terrain-wise, expect a mix of country roads, cycle paths and the occasional off-road section – our experts can offer solid advice on where the difficult parts are, and how to reduce the chafing!

Week-long small group tours full of Camino camaraderie cover around 50km per day, and would be graded moderate, with a few steep bits. If you have more time, however, and the stamina for it, then 18 days would allow you to tackle the entire route of around 800km. Tailor made cycle trips allow you greater flexibility in the distances you cover each day, where you stop for lunch and where you stay the night. We’ll arrange your luggage transfers and accommodation, so all you need to do is focus on the journey.
