Discover Camino de Santiago Coastal Routes

  • Which Coastal Camino is for me?

    There are many different routes to Santiago, and here at Macs we offer the vast majority of them. We do have a detailed video which describes each option in more detail, but here is a quick summary of the main reasons for choosing our Coastal Camino Tours:

    Camino del Norte

    • The path less traveled - the Camino del Norte is one of the quieter Camino routes, so if you prefer to hike alone, this is one of the more suitable Caminos.
    • The terrain is more rugged and slightly tougher than the Camino Frances. Along the coastal sections, in particular, there are a lot of ups and downs along clifftop paths.
    • Coastline - much of the first part of the Camino del Norte passes on or near the coast.
    • Food - the Basque Country is renowned for its fantastic gastronomy and is home to the delicious Pintxos (small, tasty tapas-like dishes!).
