The tour "Camino - Leon To Santiago In 15 Days" starts from Leon and ends in Santiago De Compostela. It is a walking tour that takes 15 days taking you through Leon, Palas De Rei, Santiago De Compostela and 4 other destinations in Spain. "Camino - Leon To Santiago In 15 Days" is a self-guided private tour that includes accommodation in hotels, transport, meals and others.

An exhilarating pilgrimage walk through northern Spain to the tomb of St James in Santiago de Compostela. Traverse the centuries of time and the borders of Europe on the medieval pilgrim trail of the Camino. In the 9th century, the tomb of the apostle St James was unearthed in Compostela. The site became the focus of a pilgrim trail beginning in France, and crossing northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela. This journey, also known as the ‘Way of St James’ winds its way across borders, following in the footsteps of thousands of medieval pilgrims through the beautiful Sierras of Navarre and Aragon. The route passes a multitude of churches and monasteries, resembling a travelling museum of Romanesque art.
This last stage of the pilgrimage route offers a fine balance of walks in spectacular natural settings with visits to inspiring cultural sites including the magnificent cathedral city of Leon. Enroute there are numerous reminders of the pilgrims who travelled the route including crosses, statues and grain silos. The Valley of Ponferrada, O’Cebreiro welcomes us to the gates of Galicia and leads us to the fabled Santiago de Compostela.
