What happens if I don’t want to walk one of the days, can I travel with the luggage?

Unfortunately, walkers cannot travel with the luggage. The information you are provided with has details for local taxi numbers, bus and train timetables should you wish to not walk on any day. Your accommodation hosts will also have up to date information and advice should you wish to travel to the next destination by local transport. As always, you can call us in the office should you need help during your walk.

Where would you suggest adding an extra night?

We can organise this anywhere along the walk. However, we strongly recommend a rest day at the end of the walk in Santiago.

We’re travelling as friends but would like single rooms?

Subject to a single occupancy payment, single rooms are available. However, due to the limited accommodation single rooms might not always be available for every night of the tour, but we will let you know your options throughout the booking process.

Can we extend the days walked?

Of course, we’re happy to discuss your needs. If you feel you would prefer to stay an extra night or two in Santiago, we can help arrange this for you.

Can you extend our stay in Santiago de Compostela?

Of course, please let us know at the time of booking if you would like to extend your time in Santiago.

Can my children walk with me?

We don't allow children under the age of 13 to do this walk.

Is this tour OK for solo walkers?

Absolutely. Many people choose to complete stages of the Camino as a solo walker. There are many people walking the route and many of the overnight stays welcome hordes of walkers which means you can choose to walk your own journey or join in the camaraderie of walking with others.

Can we reduce the days walked?

We wouldn’t suggest completing the itinerary in less than 38 days but 39 days with an extra night along the way is always a good idea. Speak to the office to insert another rest day if you want to when booking.

OverviewOverview

The Camino del Norte, or as it is sometimes called, the Northern Camino, stretches 800km from Irun near the French Border to Santiago de Compostela. The last and final section starts in Ribadeo and ends at the Camino Way terminus, the cathedral in Santiago. The Camino del Norte is known for its scenic beauty, diverse terrain, and cultural richness. The final stage starts in Ribadeo, a charming coastal town known for its historic bridges and sea views. The route gradually moves inland, passing through lush forests, rolling hills, and traditional Galician villages.

Key highlights are Mondoñedo, with its impressive cathedral, and Vilalba, famous for its medieval tower. The final day of walking to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is a moment of reflection and accomplishment and marks the end of a spiritually enriching journey through one of Spain’s most beautiful regions.

Where You'll Stay

Nights are spent in small, family-run hotels and guesthouses that have been welcoming Camino walkers for many years. All rooms are ensuite, and the atmosphere is characteristically warm, with most fellow guests sharing the same journey.

Note: Single rooms are available but limited on this route. If travelling with others but requiring a single room, early booking is strongly advised. A single occupancy fee applies.

What You'll Eat

Breakfasts are included throughout the walk. Many of the accommodations have their own restaurants serving regional dishes with local ingredients, and dinners can be added as a supplement each evening if preferred. Lunches are yours to discover along the way — local cheeses, cured meats and the remarkable variety of breads found along the Camino make for a great midday spread.

Note: Please advise us of any food allergies or intolerances at the time of booking so we can inform your hosts. If you have severe allergies, bringing some of your own snacks is recommended.
