This tour includes:

Guide

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

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. During this trip you can expect different variations of breakfast at our chosen hotels and pensions, but they will all include at least some of the standard breakfast items popular in Spain. Northern Spain produces a wide range of delicious food, from fish and seafood to quality meat, vegetables and fruit. Your leader will recommend good places to eat. Sometimes it will be tapas, sharing some raciones as a group, and sometimes you can choose from the menu. On the Camino de Santiago, 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. Please note, meat and fish are staple food in northern Spain. 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.
