Spanish Pilgrims Trail, Camino de Santiago
Discover this picturesque region of Spain, on foot, as seen in the film "The Way".
'The Way', starring Martin Sheen and written and directed by his son Emilio Esteves, captivated audiences with its true story of hope and perseverance. Since its release, it has inspired many people to walk the Camino de Santiago, and visit the spots where the movie was filmed.
14 days commencing 17th September 2012 (ex Leon in Spain)
The Pilgrim’s Way to Santiago - the Camino de Santiago as it is called in Spanish, or “The Way of St. James” is a journey of the soul and spirit, that takes the traveller in the footsteps of millions of others over a millennium. Today, the Camino - “One of the world’s 2 or 3 great journeys”, according to American writer James Michener - is undergoing a renaissance unlike anything known since the 13th century peak of the pilgrimage. Modern-day ‘pilgrims’, like their forerunners, come from all over, but nowadays those with purely religious motives are joined by lovers of adventure, art, history and legends, all with a desire to take part in an experience that is unique in the modern Western world.
The main route traditionally starts in St Jean Pied de Port and finishes in Santiago de Compostela about 780km later, after traveling the breadth of Northern Spain. (In Santiago you can collect your Compostela).
Our journey is through the most picturesque parts, starting from Leon, one of the greatest cities in Spain and finishing in Santiago de Compostello, from the central high plateau and crossing the hilly lands of Galicia. One of the most beautiful parts of the Camino, and of course the most rewarding!
Tour Cost: $3,790
