“

The Food Lover’s Guide to the Camino far exceeded my every expectation. The food, the cultural experiences, the sightseeing and the walking program were all exceptionally well balanced, they were interesting, beautiful and safe and because each day was so different the entire journey was exciting. But this would not have been possible without our outstanding guide Sergio.
