Trip highlights

  • Experience the history of the trail and the villages founded by pilgrims
  • Capital of the Rioja wine region, Logrono and its lively tapas district
  • Explore Burgos Cathedral and the history of El Cid
  • Enjoy the camaraderie of fellow hikers and pilgrims

Traverse the centuries of time and the borders of Europe on the medieval pilgrim trail of Camino. In the 9th century, the tomb of the apostle St James was unearthed in Santiago. The site became the focus of a pilgrim trail beginning in France, and crossing northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela. This journey, also known as the ‘Way of St James’ winds its way across borders, following in the footsteps of thousands of medieval pilgrims through the beautiful Sierras of Navarre and Aragon. The route passes a multitude of churches and monasteries, resembling a travelling museum of Romanesque art. Five stages of this historic trail are included in our self-guided walking programs.

This part of the Camino takes you through vineyards and to the mythical Montes de Oca and the monumental Santo Domingo de la Calzada. You have the opportunity to visit the archeological site of Atapuerca, very close to the trail. From here there are only 17 kilometres to your destination: Burgos, the city of El Cid. We recommend going back in time by visiting every corner of the majestic Gothic cathedral.

Grading

moderate  

Daily walks are between 21km and 30km on well marked trails over diverse terrain – from relatively flat to mountainous. Some of the route is on paved surfaces – you should pay particular attention to your footwear to ensure that it is suitable to avoid blisters. This is a well worn path where route finding will be reasonably straightforward (refer below for further details on self guided adventures). The main areas to concentrate on route finding are arriving and leaving towns and cities. The accent is on keeping a steady pace to take in all of the attractions, with time to stop and take photos. You will need a good level of fitness to participate fully in this adventure. Taxi and bus services operate between towns in the event that you are unable to walk on a particular day.

Departure dates

Daily from 1 Mar to 15 Nov

Notes

Note:
Departures in November are likely to experience wetter and colder conditions than at other times with snow possible. Winter can be a magical time to experience the Camino with fewer people and more local encounters, but the walking day is shorter. In addition, hotel closures are possible which may require a change in overnight towns.
