Its operation is very simple. Each day we will place the vehicle at a meeting point halfway through the stage, where you can decide whether you want to continue or abandon the tour due to any problem, discomfort or injury. Once the whole group has passed through this place, the vehicle will drive to the end of the stage with all the occupants.
Support vehicle on request
If you do the Camino de Santiago on your own, you will not have this service included in your trip and you will have to pay for it if you use it. But you can request it by contacting us by phone whenever you need it. Once we have received the notification, we will send you the nearest vehicle to pick you up.
