Itinerary idea in detail

Includes international flights from a choice of UK airports, including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

  • Today you begin your journey by boarding your international outbound flight to Oviedo. On arrival in Asturias, you'll be taken to your hotel in Oviedo by private transfer. The afternoon is yours to enjoy at leisure. You might like to explore the city's architectural beauty or perhaps soak up the vibrant atmosphere in a local café or restaurant.

  • Today, you’ll be accompanied by your private guide to discover the hidden gems of Oviedo. Begin with a visit to the Cathedral of Oviedo, where King Alfonso II, the first pilgrim to Santiago de Compostela, is buried. Explore the interior of this beautiful Romanesque church and its impressive treasury.

  • After breakfast, collect your hire car and set off on a scenic drive from Oviedo to Sarria, the starting point of your Camino. En route, stop in Lugo for lunch and explore the well-preserved Roman walls that surround the city’s old town. Take a leisurely stroll along these ancient walls, before continuing to Sarria.

  • Your Camino adventure begins today as you set off from Sarria, the most popular starting point for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago due to its proximity to Santiago. Walk approximately 23 km (14.3 miles) through scenic landscapes, small villages, and lush fields. Watch for the 100 km marker, often marked with stones and adorned with messages from past pilgrims. The day ends with a final ascent up a flight of stairs, rewarding you with beautiful views over Portomarín and the opportunity to rest in this welcoming town.

  • Today’s journey takes you approximately 24 km (15 miles) from Portomarin to Palas de Rei. As you walk, take in the sights of rural Galicia, with its stone houses and rolling hills. Along the way, pass through small villages and stop to explore the local churches and chapels. The Camino route today offers a glimpse into rural life, with pilgrims crossing paths and sharing stories. The final stretch of the day brings you to Palas de Rei, where you can enjoy a well-deserved rest and a taste of traditional Galician hospitality.

    Stay at Rectoral de Lestedo   
  • Today, you’ll cover approximately 28 km (17.4 miles) on your Camino journey, making it the longest walking day of the trip. The route takes you through diverse landscapes, from open fields to woodland paths, and past charming villages. The walk offers a peaceful and reflective experience, allowing you to connect with fellow pilgrims and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Galician countryside. Upon reaching Arzúa, a well-known hub for pilgrims, you’ll have the chance to explore the town and its surroundings, perhaps sampling some of the local cheese Arzúa is renowned for.

    Stay at 1930 Boutique Hotel   
  • The fourth leg of your Camino involves walking approximately 20 km (12.4 miles) from Arzua to O Pedrouzo. As you make your way, the atmosphere becomes more lively with local residents engaging with pilgrims through music and small businesses. The route today passes through rolling hills and offers more opportunities to connect with the cultural fabric of the Camino, whether by enjoying a café con leche in a local bar or interacting with artisans at a roadside market. O Pedrouzo awaits you with its welcoming hospitality, giving you a chance to rest and reflect on the experiences of the past few days.

  • Today, you’ll complete the final leg of your Camino, walking approximately 18 km (11.2 miles) toward Santiago de Compostela. This is the most eagerly anticipated day, as pilgrims from around the world journey to the endpoint of the Camino de Santiago. As you near Santiago, the atmosphere becomes more joyous, with crowds of pilgrims making the final approach together. The walk culminates in a dramatic arrival at the Plaza del Obradoiro, where you’ll be greeted by the stunning cathedral and the sense of achievement that comes with completing this historic pilgrimage.

  • Today, join your guide for a private walking tour that will bring the city’s rich history and captivating stories to life. The day's highlight is undoubtedly a visit to the magnificent Cathedral de Santiago de Compostela. Inside, be sure to keep an eye out for the botafumeiro — an iconic giant censer swung during special religious services. In the afternoon, enjoy some free time to explore further at your own pace. Consider ending your day by attending one of the four daily Pilgrim’s Mass services, a fitting conclusion to your Camino adventure.

  • Today, experience a different side of Galicia with a vibrant walking tapas tour in Santiago de Compostela. Wander through charming tavernas and local restaurants, savouring a delicious array of dishes and drinks that both visitors and locals cherish. Share stories and laughter with your private guide as you enjoy mouthwatering tapas and a glass of refreshing Albariño wine, an experience that blends the flavours of Galicia with the city’s rich culture. Your return flight will arrive the same day.
