Evening meals and lunches
You can purchase evening meals either at the accommodation or nearby. When our event planners send you the schedule with itinerary you could prearrange directly with the accommodation or during the walk.
For lunches we would suggest bringing some of your own favourite snack bars and then asking the accommodation for a packed lunch for the following day and also supplementing that at stops en-route.
Accommodation
Accommodation is generally in a mixture of family-run hotels, guesthouses, rural inns and carefully selected pilgrim-friendly accommodation. Private ensuite facilities will be provided wherever possible, although in some smaller villages facilities may occasionally be shared.
Once your booking is confirmed, your event planner will provide details of your accommodation and discuss any preferences or special requirements.
Dog friendly
Due to accommodation restrictions and the logistics involved with luggage transfers across multiple regions of Spain, this trip is generally not recommended for travellers with dogs.
Need a guide?
If you would prefer to have a guide for your walk, even just for one day, then we are happy to help. We can provide a qualified leader (also first aid qualified) to lead your trek or on just one of the sections. Just ask us.
A guide can not only take the stress out of navigation, but you will also find them a great asset in terms of providing an insight into all things environment and nature.
Dates and prices
For available dates please see the ‘build your trip’ option on the left hand side on desktops or at the bottom on mobiles. You can reserve your space via this route.
After you book
After placing your booking with us, you will in the first instance receive an automated email from our system confirming receipt of your reservation. If you don’t receive it, it is worth checking your spam/clutter folder.
In the process of placing your booking, you will generally set up an access password to our online gateway where you can review the details of the booking.
Your personal event planner will then be in touch with you to start to confirm the details. This contact will usually be taken up in the working day after receipt of your booking, but may, in busy times, take a little longer. The event planner will then liaise with you regarding the details of the course. If you have any specific requirements, please do mention it at this stage.
At the end of your trip
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and when you arrive in Burgos, you have a few options. If you haven’t booked an additional night’s stay, we will arrange for your luggage to be delivered to a central drop-off point. From there, you can continue your onward travel as outlined in the ‘Getting There and Back’ section above.
Many pilgrims choose to celebrate the completion of their Camino with an extra night — and rightly so, you’ve earned it. If you’d like to extend your stay, this can be arranged as an optional add-on with your event planner.
