Camino De Santiago Trek

This tour includes:

Meals

All breakfasts are included. A typical breakfast in Spain might consist of coffee with milk, toast with ham, olive oil, tomatoes, cheese and butter and jam. Bakery items, fruit and juice are also popular. Expect different variations of breakfast at our chosen hotels and pensions, but they all include at least some of the standard breakfast items popular in Spain. On El Camino, restaurants and bars offer a set menu called the Menu del Pergerino, which offers a choice of five starters, five mains and dessert, coffee and drink for about โ‚ฌ12-โ‚ฌ15. You can also try the delicacy pulpo a la feira, which is sliced octopus with paprika, olive oil and sea salt. Sometimes it is also served with grelos (boiled sliced potatoes). Mealtimes in Spain are later than in many other countries; dinner is usually taken between 8pm and 9.30pm. Vegetarians can be catered for, as can other dietary requirements, although there may not be the same choice or variety as you have at home. Please advise us upon booking.

Others

Luggage transfer service. Follow one of the worldโ€™s oldest pilgrim routes. Explore romanesque cathedrals, mediaeval monasteries and unspoiled rural scenery. Collect stamps for your pilgrimโ€™s passport along the way. The historic Galician capital of Santiago de Compostela.

Accommodation

We spend eight nights in two- and three-star hotels and pensions. All rooms feature private bathroom facilities and most offer free wifi. The accommodations typically used can be found in the day-to-day itinerary; however, below are a couple of the standout stays. Samos: Hotel A Veiga (night 1) Begin the trip at this 15-room hotel, which has a rustic bar โ€“ the perfect spot to gather with new friends and discuss the adventures ahead. The rooms themselves are clean and unfussy, plus thereโ€™s a restaurant serving an ever-changing menu. Santiago de Compostela: Hotel Avenida (nights 7-8) Make the most of your time in the capital of Galicia with a stay at Hotel Avenida, which is ideally located in the old town. The city highlights are on the doorstep (the cathedral is just a 10-minute walk away) and the rooms are modest yet cosy. Worth knowing There may be some departures where groups are split between two hotels in some locations. All hotels used are of a similar standard throughout. A limited number of single rooms are available for a supplement on request.

Guide

The tour leader accompanies the group on all activities from Day 1 to Day 7. They also provide suggestions on what to do on Day 8, your free day.

Itinerary of your trip Camino De Santiago Trek

  • Day 1 Day 1: Start Samos
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Start Samos

      We begin the adventure in Samos, a classic start point for many Camino pilgrims. We have a welcome briefing this evening, then free time to rest or explore. Most groups head to the Monastery of San Xian de Samos to collect their Pilgrim Passport (Credencial), a significant moment that confirms your pilgrim status. On El Camino, the passport is stamped at the accommodations, and you can collect more stamps at churches and even some cafes. We need to present the passport to the Pilgrims Office in Santiago de Compostela to receive our Compostela certificate. Accommodation: Hotel A Veiga (or similar)

  • Day 2 Day 2: To Sarria, Walking Through Ancient Oak Forests And Quaint Villages (Breakfast)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: To Sarria, Walking Through Ancient Oak Forests And Quaint Villages (Breakfast)

      Our pilgrimage begins in style: with a short detour to walk around the Monasterio de San Julian de Samos, one of the oldest monasteries in Spain. We then take one of the most unspoiled sections of the trail, walking through Galician countryside populated by traditional agricultural villages. We continue through ancient oak forests to the town of Sarria, another popular start point for El Camino, as itโ€™s almost exactly 62mi (100km) from Santiago de Compostela โ€“ the shortest distance you can walk and still earn a Compostela. Accommodation: Hotel Duerming Villa de Sarria (or similar)

  • Day 3 Day 3: Walk Through The Hills Of The Galician Countryside To Portomarin (Breakfast)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Walk Through The Hills Of The Galician Countryside To Portomarin (Breakfast)

      Leaving Sarria, we take a mostly rural route today, walking up and down the hills of Galicia, and through a picturesque oak grove, to the town of Portomarin. Our destination, which was originally located in the River Mino valley, was rebuilt on a hilltop to escape flooding when a reservoir was constructed in 1962. As we cross the modern bridge to enter Portomarin, we may be able to see an older bridge beneath it, depending on where the water level sits. Accommodation: Hotel Villajardรญn (or similar)

  • Day 4 Day 4: To The Village Of Ventas De Naron; Continue To Palas De Rei (Breakfast)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: To The Village Of Ventas De Naron; Continue To Palas De Rei (Breakfast)

      We start with a steady ascent to the village of Ventas de Naron, where the terrain levels out. Before the top of the climb though, we can visit the ruins of an Iron Age fort at Castromaior, one of the best preserved in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Itโ€™s then on to Palas de Rei, though there are plenty of cafes en route where we can enjoy a break. Palas de Rei marks the halfway point of our trek and we spend the night in a hotel, where we can really feel the Camino spirit, since many walkers stop here. Accommodation: Hotel Alda Palas de Rei (or similar)

  • Day 5 Day 5: Walk To The Town Of Melide, Renowned For Its Octopus With Potato Dish; Continue To Arzua (Breakfast)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Walk To The Town Of Melide, Renowned For Its Octopus With Potato Dish; Continue To Arzua (Breakfast)

      We begin our longest day with a walk along a picturesque stretch, crossing several Roman bridges and walking past medieval churches. As we continue, we cross the Lugo-A Coruรฑa border and see ancient horreos (granaries), a rectangular construction seen across rural Galicia. For lunch, we stop in the small town of Melide, renowned for its delicious octopus with potatoes. You may notice an increase in pilgrims, as two other strands of El Camino meet here: the Northern and Primitivo. After lunch, we continue to Arzua, well-known for its cheeses. Along the way, we pass through picturesque landscapes and the riverside village of Ribadiso. The 12th-century bridge here is the oldest in the region. Accommodation: Hotel Arzua (or similar)

  • Day 6 Day 6: Meet Many More Pilgrims On The Final Section To Pedrouzo (Breakfast)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 6: Meet Many More Pilgrims On The Final Section To Pedrouzo (Breakfast)

      Todayโ€™s relatively short walk to the village of Pedrouzo โ€“ considered among the most picturesque on our journey โ€“ involves several short ascents and descents through woods, fruit fields and eucalyptus. As Santiago draws ever closer, more pilgrims cross our path, adding to the anticipation of reaching our goal: the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Accommodation: Pension Platas (or similar)

  • Day 7 Day 7: Walk To Santiago De Compostela (Breakfast)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 7: Walk To Santiago De Compostela (Breakfast)

      Our final dayโ€™s walk sees us climbing up to Monte do Gozo, where pilgrims traditionally first saw the towers of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. As part of the centuries-old tradition, we make our way through the city streets and crowds to Plaza del Obradoiro. The square is dominated by the cathedral, making a spectacular culmination to our trek โ€“ take a moment or two to congratulate each other on completing El Camino! We can observe a mass service that may include the impressive Botafumeiro incense swinging, although it cannot be guaranteed. To save time, our tour leader can gather the Pilgrim Passports and collect everyoneโ€™s Compostela certificates โ€“ allowing the group to avoid the often-lengthy lines at the office and spend more time reflecting on the journey together. Accommodation: Hotel Avenida (or similar)

  • Day 8 Day 8: Free Day In Santiago De Compostela (Breakfast)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 8: Free Day In Santiago De Compostela (Breakfast)

      Rather than dashing straight home after our pilgrimage, we have a free day to explore the historic city. There are plenty of things to do: visit the spectacular cathedral and stroll around the narrow streets of the World Heritage-listed Old Town with its diverse architecture. Alternatively, visit the museum of Galician Life, home to interesting exhibits on Galician traditions and art. You can also join a day excursion to Cape Finisterre, which was believed to be the end of the known world in Ancient Roman times. The Cape is also the final destination for many pilgrims on El Camino. Accommodation: Hotel Avenida (or similar)

  • Day 9 Day 9: End Santiago De Compostela (Breakfast)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 9: End Santiago De Compostela (Breakfast)

      The trip ends this morning after breakfast. Say your final goodbyes and start your return journey home, one Compostela heavier.
