NEW!! SLOW CAMINO
Assisted 100km, 16-day walk for people who are not so able-abodied
If you would love to walk the Camino but don't know where to start with all the planning, only have three weeks leave and don't want to walk it alone, join our 22-day accompanied walk on the three most scenic sections of the Camino Frances.
Experience all the tradition and spirituality of the Camino from the first day when we start our walk from the French, medieval pilgrimage town of St Jean Pied de Port (St John at the Foot of the Pass) in the Pyrenees Mountains. We will take two days to walk to the monastery complex at Roncesvalles where we'll have an opportunity to take part in a thousand year old pilgrim blessing in the Abbey of Roncesvalles. If you feel daunted by the thought of crossing the Pyrenees, you have the option of joining the group at Roncesvalles and starting your walk from there. The choice is yours.
Accompanied by an experienced Camino pilgrim leader whose goal is for you to have the most wonderful Camino experience possible, we will walk over 368km from the beech woods of the Pyrenees Mountains, through the vineyards and cereal fields of Navarre and La Rioja, staying at quaint villages and historic towns. After visiting Burgos and Léon we will hike to the highest point of the Camino in the spectacular Irago Mountains and leave a pebble at the foot of the Iron Cross – the enigmatic Cruz de Ferro.
Our walk in Galicia will take us through eucalyptus forests, small farms with dry stone walls and dozens of quaint villages and hamlets. Walking the last 100km from Sarria will qualify you for the coveted ‘Compostela’ – a certificate in Latin confirming that you have walked the Camino to Santiago de Compostela. At the end of your walk there is an option to take part in a night visit to Finisterre - The End of the World - to watch the sun set over the Atlantic Ocean - a fitting end of your wonderful Camino experience.
Our walks are designed for small groups - a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 12 – perfect for singles and those who do not want to walk alone. We want to share our love and passion for the Camino with like-minded people. We don't want this to be a guided tour as such - rather we want to be mentors, allowing each person to experience the best Camino possible, their way. Although you will always have a group leader on the walk, we want you to have lots of time for contemplation and reflection. Walking a Camino can be a very spiritual experience and we would like to be facilitators rather than 'tour guides'.
We work closely with Annie Carvalho in the US who provides the same product at the similar prices. Should our walks be fully booked we'll provide a link to Annie's website here. Or you can Google 'guided Camino walks' to source other companies offering walks on the Camino.

PILGRIM FOOTPRINTS on the Sands of Time.
