Overview

11 Day Tour from Madrid to Madrid
The history of the Camino de Santiago goes back to the 9th Century, when the tomb of the evangelical apostle St. James was discovered in what is today Santiago de Compostela. Since then, pilgrims from all over the world have walked St. James' Way, originally seeking forgiveness for their sins, and nowadays often just to spend time on a journey of personal growth.

Your rewards will be intangible, but priceless: an opportunity to enjoy nature, meditate, search for answers, and challenge your limits, discover beautiful rural areas of northern Spain, and make friends with whom you’ll have shared one of the most significant experiences of your life. At the end of your journey, relax on an excursion by coach to Finisterre and Muxia and a guided tour of Santiago de Compostela. You will receive the Compostela Certificate upon completion of the entire route on foot.

To make this itinerary more sustainable, Your Tour Includes:

  • Guided pilgrimage walk with maximum of 20 guests, plus Tour Director
  • Luggage transfer service between overnight hotels
  • Transfers from Madrid to Sarria and from Santiago de Compostela to Madrid by train.
  • Evening Catholic Mass service in most overnight towns (services may be in the local language and venues are subject to change)
  • Excursion to Finisterre
  • Guided walking tour in pilgrimage destination of Santiago de Compostela
  • Train travel from Santiago de Compostela to Madrid

Notes:
  • This is a walking tour for small groups of a maximum of 20 participants.

    This is a challenging experience as it involves significant physical effort as you walk through forests and along busy roads for many miles each day for a total of approximately 71 miles.

    Since it is largely completed on foot, it requires a good level of physical fitness, and some physical training prior to departure is highly recommended.

    This itinerary is not accessible by wheelchair or other ambulatory devices due to some uneven and unpaved paths.

    If unable to complete any of the stages on foot, transportation by taxi will be arranged at an extra cost. One piece of luggage per person, not exceeding 20 kg/44 lbs will be transported daily during the walk from the lobby of your overnight hotel to the next overnight hotel. You will need to pack a backpack containing essentials for the day (such as water, raincoat, essential medication, money, sunblock, etc.) to carry during the walk.

    Hotel accommodation is of simple standards, often with no elevators, but always with private facilities. Occasionally, transfers by minivan will be provided when accommodation is not directly at the end of a stage.

    Mass services are available in the evenings at most overnight towns/villages (they may be in local language and venues are subject to change.)
