Experience the Camino Walk

News May 01, 2016

The French Way (Section 8) is the most popular walking tour of the Camino de Santiago. Perfect for those looking to capture the essence of the Camino: a nice walk, good food, discovering local customs, meeting fellow pilgrims and enjoying the unique atmosphere of it all. You won’t forget a single minute of it! This section of the Camino de Santiago starts in Sarria and covers the last 100 km of the Camino Francés, the minimum required to apply for your Compostela certificate. The Camino will take you across woodlands, farmland and rustic hamlets, following tracks and paths lined by granite stone walls. The green rolling landscape of Galicia is part of each day’s walk, until you approach your final destination: the mythical city of Santiago de Compostela. Get your ‘Compostela’ certificate and explore the magic of Santiago’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and visit St. Francis’ monastery (it is believed that this route is the same St. Francis took when he went on pilgrimage.)

The tour will include all accommodations with breakfast and dinner daily, until Santiago with breakfast only daily, arrival transfer to starting point, and transfer to airport in Santiago de Compostelo, also luggage transfer (1 pc. per passenger).
