As ancient a route as they come, the Camino de Santiago’s growing popularity since its 9th century inception has almost bypassed the need for an introduction.

The vast expansion of its humble Roman roads connecting France and Spain has, over time, fanned out across Iberia and western Europe, making it one of the most unmissable long distance trails in the world.

On this seven-night walk, you’ll start in Sarria, a large town famed for Galicia’s antique fairs. From here you’ll walk along farm tracks, paths and country lanes, and through vineyards, stopping off at churches to admire the frescoes and tavernas for lunch en route. Be sure to have your Pilgrim Passport stamped in bars, hotels and churches along the way to qualify for a certificate from the official Pilgrim Office in Santiago.
