Doing the Camino de Santiago in an organized group in 2027: routes and departure dates
04 October, 2026
2027 departure dates to do the Camino de Santiago in an organized group in the Holy Year: Sarria, Tui, Vigo (new) and Finisterre. What it includes, who it's ideal for, and how to reserve your spot.
And what if this year you choose something different? What if you choose to stop, breathe, and walk without haste… accompanied by people who, like you, seek something more than just a simple vacation? Doing the Camino de Santiago in an organized group is the answer, a way to connect with what is essential in the best company. It is to let the passage of days, the silence of the forests, and the sincere conversations by the roadside transform your way of seeing life. It is to share glances, hugs, tears, and laughter with those you did not know… who will end up being part of your story.
When you walk in a group, you discover that beauty is not only in the landscapes or in the arrival in Santiago, but in every gesture of shared care, in every word of encouragement, in every step synchronized with other hearts. The Camino thus becomes a mirror: of your moment, of your longings, of your ability to open yourself to the world and let it touch you.
And 2027 is not just any year: it is Jacobean Holy Year, and the group departure dates are already published. This year we are launching a new route: we have prepared four Caminos in a group for you to choose the one that resonates with you the most.
The arrival at the Cathedral of Santiago is indescribable, and if you are well accompanied, it will be very special
Why do the Camino in an organized group?
Doing the Camino de Santiago in an organized group has unique advantages. You will never feel alone: you will travel with a group of pilgrims accompanied by expert guides who ensure the safety and good experience of everyone. This means you will be able to meet new people, share unforgettable moments, and support each other along the route. And with freedom: the guide accompanies and orients you, but everyone walks at their own pace.
An organized group also provides logistics and peace of mind: you do not have to worry about logistics, as the agency takes care of accommodation, luggage transport, support vehicle, pilgrim passports, and more. You will also have constant security and support, with monitors and a support vehicle available at all times. In summary, it is an enriching, fun, and safe experience, ideal for those looking to share the adventure without complicating the organization.
Who is an organized group trip ideal for?
Organized group trips are designed for everyone. They are ideal for first-time pilgrims who feel insecure about going alone for the first time, or for solo travelers who wish to meet new people. In fact, many of our participants come without a companion and end up making great friendships.
They are also perfect for those who have already done the French Wayfrom Sarria and want to try a new experience: many pilgrims come back afterwards with the Portuguese Way or with the Camino to Finisterre. Ultimately, it is an option open to everyone: young, old, beginners, or veterans. One detail to keep in mind: our groups are Spanish-speaking.
