ACCOMMODATION & DINING

OVERVIEW

During this tour, you will stay in simple, small family-run hotels and guest houses that have been welcoming walkers of the Camino for many years. All rooms are ensuited and typically, in the style of the Camino, accommodations have a great atmosphere as the majority of other guests will be fellow walkers. As this walk is a very busy route it is usual for similar accommodations to be used other than that listed.

Single Rooms
If you are travelling with family and/or friends but would like single rooms, we would advise booking as soon as your plans are finalised to secure your rooming preferences. Single rooms incur an additional single occupancy fee.

Dining
You will be provided with breakfast each morning. If you have any food allergies or intolerances, please let us know at the time of booking so we can let your hosts know. Should you have severe food allergies, it’s always worth bringing a few of your snacks with you.

You will find many of the accommodations have their own restaurant which serves regional dishes, using local ingredients. Although dinners aren’t included in this tour, dinners can be included each evening as a supplement if you wish. Lunches can be purchased locally – a great part of the experience. You can either order lunch from your accommodation or buy local cheeses and meats along with a wide variety of different breads you will find along the Camino.

GENERAL INFO

AVAILABILITY

This tour is available from the start of January through to December. Regardless of when you travel, there are often celebrations along the Camino, specific to the individual towns or regions. From Asturias culture and festivals to the nationwide celebrations of Semana Santa, walking the Camino is a colourful experience.

THE WALKING

The Camino is a well-trodden route, so the trails are very well-defined for the most part. You will follow an ancient pilgrim trail and therefore, whilst sections of the walk will take you deep into the picturesque countryside, you will also walk through urban environments and alongside roads, as you follow the truest route possible.

You should be used to walking up to 24km with up to 300m of ascent and descent. On any typical day, you will hike on rocky trails, and farm and forest tracks and cover long sections in the open countryside. You will make sustained climbs to hilltop towns, and villages and across the rolling countryside. You will also walk on some roads, so please be mindful of road users at all times.

A moderately active lifestyle makes walking enjoyable: an exercise regime of 2 to 3 times a week is needed, in addition to your usual walks. The route is very well waymarked by the iconic scallop-shell markers and with the many other walkers on the trail, it’s very easy to find your way.

For each of the walks, you will be provided with daily walk notes, a map and the GPX tracks if you wish to use them for your device.

WEATHER

The route runs across northern Spain and through a variety of terrain. During the early and latter part of the season, conditions can be changeable from temperate warm days through to frosty mornings and very cool nights. From May to September, rainy days are less frequent and temperatures are steadily between 20-24 degrees, however, it is possible that you may experience a few cloudy days. See weather averages here.

HOW TO GET THERE AND AWAY

The tour starts in Gijon. The best way to reach Gijon is by air, arriving directly. If you are in Europe, there are many connections by train; Madrid seems to be the simplest.

From Madrid, it is around a 3.5-hour journey from the main Chamartin train station.

At the end of the trip, it might be best to travel to Santiago (3 hrs) and fly just about anywhere in Europe, Santiago to Madrid on the train is just over 3 hrs.

Or travel by bus to Lugo (2 hrs) and train it back to Madrid (5 hrs).

Going back to Gijon looks slightly shorter, but backtracking may not be something you wish to do. From Gijon, you can fly to Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, London, and Lisbon.

INSURANCE

We require that you have adequate travel insurance against potential losses, damage or injury, including cancellation costs and loss of luggage.

For all trips that require international travel, you must have purchased travel insurance that also includes medical evacuation coverage.

We also charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your walking holiday after we have confirmed it to cover costs incurred by our suppliers and in the office.  See the FAQ section for more information.
