Explore the most traditional and best known of all the pilgrims’ ways to Santiago de Compostela

We will walk the final 100km of the French Way, from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela, following the centuries old paths of pilgrims. Passing through villages and the beautiful landscape of Galicia, this five-day walk passes numerous points of cultural and historical interest along the way. The UNESCO World Heritage site of Santiago de Compostela, the final destination of the Way, is named after the Apostle Saint James (Santiago) who is buried here.
Ours is not a religious tour - the Camino is about the journey and to the majority of people it symbolises a time of reflection, learning and fresh starts.
Whether you feel it is time for a new challenge, or this is a trek you have always had in your mind to do – you are welcome. If you want to do this on your own and meet new people or you want to do this with friends or family – you are welcome. This is a challenge for everyone and we invite you to join us for this very special adventure.
