Recommendations:

Time of Year

The Camino is best enjoyed from March to October but you can walk at any time of year . You can start on any date that suits your travel plans and you will find up to date availability on our website.

Additional Nights

There is so much to see and do along the route that many of our clients choose to add extra nights along the walk either as a rest day or simply to do some extra sightseeing. If you are walking the whole route solo try not to add too many extra nights along the way as you will lose touch with those you have met.

Fewer Nights

It is possible to walk the Camino in less time but we would not recommend this.

Accommodation

The accommodation in Pamplona, Logrono, Burgos, Leon and Santiago de Compostela will be in 3 star hotels, the rest will be a mixture of rural hotels and hostels all with private rooms and en-suite. They all offer a warm welcome to walkers, traditional hospitality and delicious local food. We do recommend that you book this trip early as the area is always popular and the hotels and inns do fill up early, especially in high season.

Solo Walkers & Single Rooms

The Camino is available to solo walkers at a single supplement.

Compostela/Pilgrims Passport

We provide a pilgrims passport in our info pack which is issued by the church of St James. You need to get the passport stamped in churches, restaurants and hotels along the way. At the end of the walk in Santiago you can obtain your Compostela Certificate (only if you have walked the last 100km). For the other sections of the trail, the passport is used as a souvenir with all the colourful stamps you will receive.

Meals

A local continental breakfast is included each morning. Lunch and dinner are not included as standard so you are free to choose from the available options. We can add a supplement for dinner on to each itinerary.

Baggage Transfer (Optional)

We can arrange for your bags to be transferred from your accommodation as per your itinerary and moved onto your next overnight accommodation. This is an additional cost and is an option as part of the booking process.

Clothing & Equipment

Your information pack has a detailed equipment list which includes standard walking gear such as good walking boots or shoes, lightweight clothes, waterproofs and a day pack.
