Planning Your Visit
Walk the pilgrims' path
Also known as the Camino de Santiago walk, or the Way of St. James, this pilgrimage can take a couple of weeks, or even months, although many complete it in stages. Any route between St. James and Santiago de Compostela Cathedral qualifies, but some routes are more popular, so do your research and make sure you are up to the challenge. Routes are marked throughout Spain, France and Portugal and hostels dot the way, making accommodation relatively simple.
Getting there
Fly into Santiago de Compostela Airport from around central Europe. Visitors from further afield may have to connect in London or Amsterdam.

This was a wonderful trip., very well organised, good quality transport with a very safe driver.Enjoyed our different stops .Our tour guide was exceptional. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I felt it was great value for the price.One of the best tours I've ever been on .
A phenomenal excursion, the day is used with different visits to which one is better, from the winery where the girl who guides is a charm, through the mussel madness and visit the beautiful Cambarros and the waterfall for a refreshing finale.
