Camino del Norte

  • A dramatic, more challenging pilgrim route to Santiago
  • San Sebastian, a gastronomic experience fit for any foodies
  • The art and architecture of the Guggenheim in Bilbao
  • The contrast of quiet fishing villages and modern cities
  • Gaining your Compostela in Santiago
A dramatic and sometimes challenging route to Santiago, this Camino more accurately reflects the true pilgrim experience. Taking you from San Sebastian along the north coast of Spain to Santiago de Compostela, the route alternates between dramatic coast, rugged Galician mountains and some of the best cities in Spain. We offer the Camino del Norte in five sections of roughly a week each. Walk just one section, perhaps the last one to Santiago to gain your Compostela, or combine two or more sections for a longer pilgrimage.
