Roncasvalles to Santiago de Compostela
Over 35 spirited days, we’ll walk the Way of St. James, following the footsteps of pilgrims who have traveled this route for more than 1,000 years to reach the shrine of apostle Saint James in the grand cathedral in Compostela de Santiago. Our unique exploration of northern Spain on foot will embark from the tiny village of Roncesvalles in the Pyrenees, just five miles from the French border. We’ll cross La Rioja, Spain’s wine region, explore gothic monasteries and cathedrals, and sample local culinary specialties. Along the way, we will admire hundreds of modest-to-ornate pilgrim monuments, listen to monk’s Gregorian chants, and climb up to El Cebreiro in gloriously green Galicia on our final stretch to Santiago de Compostela.

Averaging 12 to 17 miles of walking each day, we will rest at comfortable, small inns and casas rurales at night. All pilgrims receive “passports” that are stamped at locations along the way to verify our journey. With the use of a support vehicle and time on our side, we will have the luxury of investigating the historically rich sites of the Camino. Our trek will officially end with a day trip to Cape Finisterre, a rock-bound jut of land on the Iberian Peninsula, often sited as “the end of the Earth.”

Tour price includes all breakfasts 15 picnic lunches, hotel accommodations with private baths and full support van. Group is limited to 18.
