Itinerary

Step back through centuries of history on the 'Full Camino Primitivo,' an 18-day moderate walking tour for experienced travelers and seniors. Journey from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela, passing through Salas, Lugo, and Arzúa along the legendary route walked by millions of pilgrims since the 9th century. Traverse dark woods, mountain passes, and friendly rural villages, with each day revealing new historical sites and breathtaking natural beauty. In Melide, join the bustling French route before the final approach to Santiago. The USP of this trip is the opportunity to walk the entire original Camino, immersing yourself in a living tradition that’s as meaningful as it is scenic.

We used them for our first Camino Walk. From start to end everything went smoothly. Two couples, bags transfers, accommodations, transportation where required. We had great information and support from the time we started our contact with them up to the end. We walked 300km+ , it was great to know there were beds at the end of the day and the hotels /motels were all great. Highly recommend!

It was an enriching multi-week hike with beautiful scenery and a wide variety of interesting fellow pilgrims to connect with along the way.
