Retracing pilgrims' European journeys

Walk the routes of the early pilgrims who made epic journeys along what were the busiest roads in Europe during the 12th and 13th centuries.

The historic Camino De Santiago is a journey across Spain's north-west to the tomb of St James at Santiago de Compostela.

The 800km-trip takes modern-day walkers about a month.

Accommodation is in authentic, refurbished monasteries and convents, restored hostels, historic inns and hotels that ooze Spanish character.

Shorter journeys of 11 and 15 days cover the best parts of the walk, and part of the Camino is even a sealed road, travelled by vehicle.
