Also known as the ‘Way of Saint James', the Camino de Santiago is one of the world's oldest pilgrimages. Our version of this famous route takes us from Sarria all the way to Santiago de Compostela, over the last 100 kilometre stretch that qualifies us for the ‘Compostela' - the pilgrimage certificate. From the pretty, tree-shaded streets of Sarria, we follow the iconic scallop-shell way-marks, beside waterways, through woodland and by way of scattered, picturesque villages. Finally arriving at the ancient town of Santiago, with its cobbled streets and welcoming cafes, we have the chance to visit the impressive Baroque Cathedral, now a shrine to Saint Paul. During our walk, we stay in small family run hotels and our baggage is transferred for us. Involving some long days on easy terrain, this fully guided walking holiday is steeped in the religious history of this 1000 year-old pilgrimage route.
