Cultural travel along the historic Camino de Santiago.

Experience northern Spain’s legendary Camino de Santiago, a pathway paved by pilgrims over centuries. Walk the most picturesque portions of the French Way of the Camino, carefully chosen to enrich your experience. Hike through sun-drenched pastures, lush vineyards, and quaint towns, then board a motor coach to transfer to your next destination with ease. 

Explore the dazzling variety of art and UNESCO-listed architecture along the Camino, including Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals and monasteries in Nájera, Burgos, León, and Santiago de Compostela.  Hear Gregorian chants performed by the world-famous monks at the monastery of Santo Domingo de Silos. End with a special event: the famous Botafumeiro ritual during midday Mass at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Along the way, enjoy the culture and hospitality of this unique area, including exquisite cuisine and regional wines, and stay at splendid centuries-old paradores (hotels). Daily walks along the Camino average 3.5 miles per day, with some rest days for normal sightseeing.
