Overview
The Full Camino: Walk and Cycle
Looking to mix it up on the Camino? Travel the full length of the Camino from St Jean Pied de Port to the end of the trail at the legendary city of Santiago de Compostela in 31 days with 8 days on the bike, 19 days walking and 6 rest days in historical Spanish cities.
The cycling sections on this trip covers 357km of the trail, mainly through the flatter section of the Meseta though there are some hills to contend with. This trip does require experience in riding off-road, but not technical mountain biking skills.
A mixed walking and cycling trip is an excellent way to experience the full Camino Frances (French Way) in a shorter time frame and provide variety to your Camino experience. The walking trails of ‘the Way’ are also open to cyclists and it is an accepted way to experience the pilgrimage.
We are the longest established and most popular Camino operator in Australia.

Customer Testimonials
The word ‘amazing’ seems trite. It was challenging, difficult at times, but one of the best things I have ever done. I loved every minute of it, even the hard bits! Enjoyed meeting other pilgrims, the changing scenery as we moved across Spain, the history of the walk and the amazing art and architecture along the way. And the wildflowers!
