Walk the Camino de Santiago
Experience Overview
If you’re looking to take on your own pilgrimage — along a route filled with beautiful countryside and rustic villages of Northern Spain — start here, at the Camino de Santiago. On this eight-day trip, complete the last 100 km of the pilgrimage route to Santiago and receive a "compostela" at the finish to prove your accomplishment. Refuel with tasty Spanish food and take the time to stop and smell the flowers — it’s active but at a slower, more picturesque pace.
Highlights
- Complete the last 100km of the pilgrim's trail and receive your "compostela"
- Walk through small villages and towns
- Enjoy hearty and delicious Spanish food
- Walk into the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela

My overall experience with G Adventures has been very positive, with the exception of difficulties, reaching someone to speak with on occasion. The trip itself was fantastic, and well organized. Our tour guide was absolutely superb. G Adventures allows me to travel ?solo ?in small groups, and yet have the ability to go off and do your own thing

I have used G Adventures 3 times for travel and it was an amazing way to see things and have free time while also knowing that you have everything taken care of

My only issue was the fact I had to pay 25 Euros extra to have my backpack transported from hotel to hotel, when all I had was a small carry on size suitcase plus a backpack, so the total weight of both would have been below the requirement for the one suitcase limit.

Hard to pick one reason but if pushed, it would be the emphasis on local experiences.

I've been on several G Adventures tours and they are always an amazing experience. I love that it's a more local experience and not too 'cushy'.

Our guide Francisco was absolutely fantastic. His passion and knowledge was captivating. The group of 16 blended together very well. Our group meetings were so much fun and Francisco had so many facts and cool information for us. Francisco made my very first CAmino walk the best experience ever.
