Walking Journey
EVERYTHING HAS BEEN CONSIDERED & INCLUDED
THE MOST CELEBRATED PILGRIMAGE
The rewards accumulate with each step taken along the Way of St James. Forged by pilgrims, each road, laneway and forested trail brings us closer to the coveted Compostela, and our own personal fulfilment.
THE GOOD LIFE MADE EASY
Our private courtesy vehicle accompanies us at all times. Stocked with supplies and picnic lunches, it serves as our own mobile refreshment station. It also stands ready to chauffeur you directly to the hotel at any time, no questions asked.
SPECIALIST CAMINO GUIDES
Two seasoned local guides travel with us at every stage of our journey. Having walked the Camino several times each, they offer invaluable, firsthand insights; personalising your daily walking distance according to individual preferences and ability. You will also be joined by a Captain’s Choice Tour Manager and Tour Doctor.
VIGOUR FROM THE VINE
At the halfway point between Pamplona and Elciego, a roadside fountain can be found dispensing a steady stream of the local wine. Said to grant strength to weary pilgrims, a tasting of the elixir is heartily encouraged.
HAVENS ALONG THE ROUTE
At the conclusion of each day’s walk, we receive welcome rest and refuge at comfortable residences, many of which are now intertwined with Camino tradition. Restored palaces, country retreats and historic hotels offer us their warm hospitality and flavoursome fare.
