Walk the historic Camino de Santiago

The Camino Santiago, or way of St James is one of the most famous pilgrimage walks in the world. Its history is steeped in a tradition of over a thousand years when pilgrims came to visit the final resting place of the Apostle who, legend has it, was buried initially in the year 44AD after his martyrdom by Herod, and whose final resting place was rediscovered early in the 9th century.

To complete the whole journey from beginning to end could see us cover a distance of up to 800km and more, depending on from where you start. However, our challenge will be much more modest as we begin our five day walk from either the town of Sarria or Portomarin.
