Camino de Santiago

Europe's great historical and cultural trail

A ‘bucket list’ experience you will never forget!

The French Way or Camino Francés is the most popular of the many pathways leading to the historical and spiritual city of Santiago de Compostela. The Camino de Santiago is an inspirational pilgrimage through traditional and modern France, Spain and Portugal to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in north-western Spain.

Spanning almost 800km across rural Spain, this is the most well known Camino de Santiago route; and as you’d expect, it offers an enormous variety of landscapes, terrain and culture. This Camino route is not particularly strenuous overall, but you’ll need physical and mental stamina. It can take 40+ days to walk the full Camino.

It is an incredible journey that will immerse you not only in Spain’s grand history, food and culture but most importantly the extraordinary camaraderie that exists along this route.

People today choose the Camino de Santiago as a personal gift of time. To connect with their dreams, beliefs and values, to be in nature, to find inner strength and wisdom, or simply to travel slowly through fascinating landscapes and cultures.

The spirit of the Camino de Santiago is alive and well among people from all over the world.

ON THE TRAIL

THE EXPERIENCE

The Camino Frances covers a lot of different terrain over it’s 789km length so it’s difficult to succinctly describe all the different trail conditions you will encounter along its length, except to say there is a great variety! Sometimes you will walk on Sheperd’s tracks through mountains, dirt paths through a forest or more commonly gravel tracks and roads. As you approach towns and cities you will follow roads more and footpaths in the cities.  There are 3 significant sets of Mountains to cross with passes upto 1500m and great open expanses, ‘the Meseta‘, in the middle of the route. Often it is through rolling hills particularly in Galicia.
