“

Exploring parts of the Camino, travelling through the beautiful countryside of north western Spain and tasting some delicious local fare were standouts for us on this tour. We had a brilliant guide, Eddie and driver, Francisco. We loved exploring some of the historical sites such as the Roman walls in Lego, the medieval castle, and the 12th century church outside of Santiago de Compostela. Santiago de Compostela itself was a great experience - such a vibrant city. And snow , yes snow in the Cantabrian mountains, didn’t expect that. The cable car ride in the Picos de Europa National Park was very special. Great tour with a great range of sights and experiences . Very well organised.

Itinerary

Carve your own pilgrimage of discovery along the Camino de Santiago and beyond, as you savour the taste of local sizzling seafood, uncover centuries-old history and feast your eyes on cinematic mountain landscapes. On this evocative journey from Portugal to northern Spain, following in the footsteps of hundreds of thousands of pilgrims, a captivating travel tale that’s uniquely yours awaits. What memories will etch their way into your story?

day 1Porto (Portugal)

World-famous port wine, an iconic iron bridge and knots of medieval alleys – our journey along the Camino will begin in postcard-perfect Porto. You could spend a day (or two!) getting acquainted with this captivating city before meeting our small group for a welcome dinner at a local restaurant this evening. So, how will your story unfold in Porto? Perhaps you’ll uncover hidden courtyards and say olá to friendly café owners as you meander up the Ribeira district to the city’s hilltop cathedral. From the cathedral’s terrace, you can watch the sun light up terracotta roofs and catch a glimpse of the mighty Douro River before exploring the vast cathedral complex itself. Be sure to look out for traditional blue and white azulejos (hand-painted tiles) that adorn facades as you go. Or, you could simply stroll along Porto’s vibrant riverfront, soaking up the cosy chatter from restaurants that spill onto the path as traditional rabelo boats float on by. All best enjoyed with a pastel de nata (a classic, Portuguese egg custard pastry) in hand, of course!
