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!).
