Self-Guided Tour with Local Emergency Support
This tour does not have a guide so you will be walking at your own pace and making as many or few stops as you wish. You will be walking an average of 22 km per day (14 miles). As everyone will be walking in the same direction, take this opportunity to meet new people or be introspective during your time alone.
Most people leave early in the morning to avoid the heat and to be able to indulge during the afternoon in a siesta, use the hotels facilities, visit the village and have a drink in a local terrace. But this is your Camino, you decide how you want to live it.
Sleep in Charming Guest-Houses and 1 to 3 Hotels
On this tour, you will sleep in charming luxurious guest-houses near the Camino (transfers to and from the houses included each day) and 1 to 3 hotels in town centers. But please note, that, due to the increasing popularity of the French Way, our favorite hotels might already be fully booked on your dates so we will be reliant on availability. In this case, we will try our best to find the best accommodation available which provide a welcoming, safe and authentic experience.
