Travel Itinerary

The group will be summoned around eight o’clock in the evening for an informative meeting. During this session, the guides will provide details about the itinerary, address any concerns, and distribute pilgrim’s credentials, luggage transport labels, and other gifts.

After settling into your accommodation, take the opportunity to soak in the pilgrim atmosphere of the town. You can explore the cobbled streets of the old part of town or relax on the Malecón promenade, enjoying the riverside terraces. It’s a day to rest, prepare mentally, and anticipate the incredible experience ahead on the French Way from Sarria in a group.

You will embark on your first day as pilgrims with a stage defined by the grandeur of its forests, rivers, and quaint rural villages nestled amidst pastures. The terrain will be comfortable, with few slopes to navigate, allowing you to discover landmarks such as the Church of Ferreiros and Barbadelo along the way. Numerous spots to refresh and rest will also dot your path. A few kilometers before reaching the stage’s end in Portomarín, you’ll catch sight of the Belesar reservoir in the distance, signaling the nearing conclusion of your journey.

In this stage, you will traverse 25 kilometers of both road and mountain terrain. After ascending some slopes, it’s worthwhile to take a brief detour to explore the Castromaior hillfort, a Celtic settlement that offers insights into Galicia’s ancient history. As you pass through several villages, you’ll have the opportunity to visit the monastery and church of Vilar de Donas, designated as a National Monument in 1931.

Upon reaching Palas de Rei, where all services are available, your only concern will be to rest and explore the village’s wonders.

This is the longest stage of the French Way within the Galician community. Twenty-nine kilometers separate you from your destination, so we recommend taking it easy and enjoying the surroundings, as it is also one of the most beautiful scenic stages of the route. Already in the province of A Coruña, dirt roads, lush forests, and medieval bridges will guide our way to Santiago de Compostela. For all pilgrims, a stop in Melide, capital of the Galician octopus, is a must. In any of its many pulperías, you can taste this delicacy of Galician gastronomy. After recovering your strength, the last kilometers will not involve much effort, and once you reach Arzúa, you will have the rest of the day to rest your body and mind.

Today you are in luck; your feet will hardly suffer as you will find a short and less complex stage than the previous ones. You will walk on flat and comfortable terrain, finding plenty of bars, shops, and places to rest. Santiago is getting closer and closer, and the pilgrim ritual of this stage is to go to bed early to be able to get up early and make the most of the day in Santiago de Compostela.

As this is a relatively short and easy stage, we recommend waking up early for the pilgrim’s mass and enjoying the day in Santiago de Compostela. Upon reaching Monte do Gozo, you’ll feel a tingling sensation as you spot the cathedral’s towers in the distance.

As you descend into the city, any blisters and fatigue will fade away, leading to the magical moment of your triumphal entry into the Plaza del Obradoiro.

You’ve made it to Santiago! Feel happy and proud to have completed your Camino de Santiago. Now, just pick up your Compostela certificate and explore the Galician capital with your travel companions.

Congratulations! You have completed your French Way from Sarria in a group. This last day, you are in charge; you can go back home or enjoy one more day in Santiago. And how beautiful Compostela is!

Did you know that all roads end in Finisterre? If you have been left with the desire to walk and you have 5 more days, we encourage you to complete the 5 stages that separate Santiago from Finisterre. It’s the most magical and spiritual route, hiding real treasures such as Ponte Maceira, one of the most beautiful villages in Spain, or the extraordinary sunset at the Finisterre lighthouse.

The operation of the Camino de Santiago in group is very simple. Picture an incredible journey among friends - that's precisely the vibe.   About a month before the trip, we'll finalize the group and send you detailed trip documentation, including accommodation names, details about the welcome meeting, a dossier with recommendations, and the insurance policy.   Once everyone has gathered in Sarria, our guides will host a welcome meeting to introduce everyone, explain the trip dynamics, and address any questions. You'll also receive your credentials, luggage transport stickers, a T-shirt, and a pilgrim's scallop. On this first day, we won't walk; instead, we'll have the chance to grab a drink, mingle, and explore the village.   Over the course of a week, we'll cover the 110 kilometers from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela. We'll walk an average of 20 kilometers per day over five stages, allowing everyone to go at their own pace. We'll also set up a WhatsApp group where the guide will suggest rest stops and points of interest along the way. Once we arrive at the end of the stage, your luggage will be waiting for you at the reception of your assigned accommodation. After freshening up and taking a break, the guide will suggest a place to have lunch , and those interested can join in to share experience. If possible, we'll also organize activities like concerts or queimadas to enjoy with our fellow pilgrims in the afternoon.   It's a journey of camaraderie, where strong bonds inevitably form among group members. We love to see how once we arrive in Santiago, those people who a week ago were strangers, end up being friends for life.

In your travel documents, you will find the names of the accommodations assigned to you, as well as their contact telephone number and location.   As a general rule, all accommodation are located in the centre of the different towns along the Pilgrims' Route to Santiago de Compostela, without the need to deviate too far from the route. But sometimes, due to lack of availability, it is possible that some accommodation may be a little far from the village or even in neighbouring towns.   For all the accommodations that are at a considerable distance from the route of the Camino, we will provide you with a free taxi service that you can use to get to your accommodation and return to the Camino the next morning.   In any case, these are exceptions that we will inform you at the time of booking.

Luggage transport service by default is included in all our trips and it is not necessary to request it. You can enjoy the Camino de Santiago without the burden of carrying your luggage on your back, knowing that your suitcase will be waiting for you at your next accommodation upon your arrival.   Along with your credential, you'll also receive stickers. Cover these stickers with the requested information and stick them in a visible place on your suitcase.   Upon arrival at your accommodation, we suggest asking at the reception where you can leave your luggage. You'll need to leave your luggage at the designated spot early in the morning for our carrier to pick it up. This ensures that when you arrive at your next accommodation, your luggage will already be waiting for you.

The support vehicle is at your disposal during the whole trip and you will be able to use it in case you get injured or are unable to continue walking for any reason. As a general rule, the support vehicle will not be able to pick you up anywhere along the route, as the Camino de Santiago runs through forests, forest tracks and narrow paths where it is difficult to access vehicles, especially buses. We will place the support vehicle halfway through the stage and we will send you its exact location. This means that in case you are injured and want to walk, you must be sure that you are able to walk at least 10 kilometers.

This is the person who will be with you during the whole trip, from the moment of the reception of the group in Sarria until the arrival in Santiago de Compostela. It will be one more of the group and will be at your disposal to help you with anything you may need, solve problems, solve all your doubts and help to make pineapple and union of the group.   Our guides know every stage of the Camino de Santiago to the millimeter and have done it many times. They will give you the best recommendations on what to see, what to visit and where to eat so that you don't miss on anything. Additionally, upon completing each stage, the guide will suggest and organize activities for those interested in joining.

We provide mandatory insurance coverage with every trip to safeguard you against any potential inconveniences during the Camino de Santiago. You'll receive the insurance policy along with your travel documents.

The basic travel insurance included in our packages offers extensive coverage against unforeseen events, ensuring you'll receive guaranteed medical assistance and numerous benefits. You can review the specifics in the General Conditions of Travel Insurance.
