Overview

The Full Camino: Womens and Group Trips

Follow in the footsteps of millions of pilgrims and over 1,000 years of history on the world’s greatest historical trail. Following scenic country roads and forest tracks crossing old villages and cities born from the Camino trail, it is difficult to imagine a better way to enjoy Spain’s rich legacy of history, culture, food and art than to follow your own Camino. You’ll join people from all walks and life and nationalities as they embark on this great adventure, and you don’t have to be religious – just a keen walker!

Our self-guided group walking trips with set departure dates are for people who prefer company on their walk. Please refer to the list below before booking your trip:

On the trail

The experience

The Camino Frances covers a lot of different terrain over its 790km. Sometimes you will walk on shepherd’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 three significant sets of mountains to cross with passes up to 1500m and, in the middle of the route, the great open expanse of the Meseta. Often you’ll walk through rolling hills particularly in Galicia.

Thoroughly had the best holiday on the Camino Frances thanks to you all! Everything you organised was perfect, no luggage late or misplaced. Food was great and we met some wonderful people along the way. Some of the accommodation, like the monastery, was unbelievably good.

Customer Testimonials

Just completed the Camino de Santiago, my second outing with RAW Travel. Lilia organised everything so well and we had the most amazing time. Loved the hotels and there were some great hosts and meals along the way. It was also great to meet other RAW Travel pilgrims and spend time with them. Book early if you want the really good accommodation – it’s getting busier every year I can’t recommend RAW Travel highly enough.

Customer Testimonials

I had already decided that I would not be trying to get a bunk bed at the end of each day, so it was a no brainer to go ahead with RAW and have their experts source and manage my accommodation for me. My only job in the whole wide world whilst enjoying my Camino experience was to get myself out of bed, pull on my gear and get walking. Having ‘on the ground’ RAW team members in Spain was also a plus. Both Daniel and Germán were fantastic; in particular Daniel. He went above and beyond the call of duty for our little band of pilgrims. Such a delight when we got to spend some time with him, too.

Customer Testimonials

We absolutely loved our RAW Travel self-guided trek across Spain. The accommodation was fantastic. One of the highlights each day was to see where we would be staying. The mix of rustic country houses to renovated monasteries was great. The organisation of moving luggage worked like clockwork. I would highly recommend RAW to other travellers and look forward to my next trekking holiday with them.

I loved all of it! The mountains, the scenery, churches and of course the company of the other ladies. I enjoyed the challenge that presented itself everyday and the great satisfaction of walking into Santiago de Compostella knowing I had walked every kilometre.
