ITINERARY
Meals included: None
Welcome to Spain!
Your adventure begins in Sarria in the Galicia region of northwest Spain. This autonomous corner of the country has its own language, cuisine and culture, distinct from the rest of Spain, but is perhaps most famous for being the home of Santiago de Compostela, the finishing point of the Camino de Santiago. Over the next week you will be walking the final 100km of this iconic and world-renowned pilgrimage.
Collect your ‘Pilgrim’s Passport’ at your hotel, then perhaps head out to a local restaurant for your first foray into the exciting world of Galician cuisine.
