FRENCH CAMINO - FINAL STRECH
Our second Camino adventure in 2020 also happens to be an exciting new collaboration. The challenge laid down by Make A Wish Ireland’s “Camino Walk for Wishes” is to complete the classic final stretch of the French Camino, from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela. We’re really looking forward to sharing the Camino’s country lanes and dirt trails with people who have raised funds for a charity that strives to enrich the lives of children with life-threatening illnesses.

More Information
This route marks the final section of the famous Camino route known as the French Way. Sarria, situated 112 km from Santiago de Compostela, is the ideal starting point for a journey that culminates with the tired traveller receiving their pilgrim’s certificate, or Compostela. Our path takes us along country lanes and dirt trails through forests, farmlands and rustic villages. Wonderful examples of medieval architecture and Galician cuisine are our final reward when we arrive in Santiago de Compostela.
