Great interaction with UTracks before leaving. Everything was well organised, no problems at all. The walk had some demanding parts, there were periods of inclement weather, but that didn't take the joy out of our days. The fields were ablaze with spring flowers and colours of every type. On the way we made some new friends, including some delightful accommodation hosts, who we hope to see again next year, especially our hosts in Conques, Manu and Flo. It was so incredibly awesome that we will be back again next year.

We had a great walk along this beautiful coastline. On many occasions it was slow-going with ups and downs over rocky ground, but the scenery was just gorgeous. We loved the towns where we stayed and the hotels were all great. The food was delicious, particularly in Spain. We were pleased that we arranged extra days in Collioure and Cadaqués so we could soak up the atmosphere of the area.

Excellent trip. The hotels used were all very good. Clean and plenty of hot water. Breakfasts in each hotel were plentiful, with a wide choice for most palates. Locations were all good, and made starting the next day easy as we were en route for the next location. The app that was sent for the walks was really helpful. Clear directions and easy to follow — just make sure you have sufficient data on your phone.

The walk lived up to all expectations and the accommodation was comfortable and appreciated at the end of a long day of walking. While dinner was provided for most locations and satisfied a walker's hunger, sadly many of the establishments failed to showcase the food of Portugal and Spain.

Everything went very smoothly on my walk from León to Santiago de Compostela, to complete the French Camino route I started in 2023. Many thanks to the local partner, and the luggage transport team. Your expertise and efficiency made it an extremely enjoyable experience.
