Walking the Camino de Santiago or Way of St James is a
unique experience and a must see. The pilgrimage route
stretches from Saint Jean Pied de Port in France to the
UNESCO heritage city of Santiago de Compostela in
Galicia. This is where the tomb of St James is located in the
Santiago Cathedral.
We arrange school trips for ages 15 and up where we will
put together an itinerary which goes from town to town until
your arrival in Santiago.

So what is it all about?
While the religious origins of this ancient pilgrimage are
obvious, we have to take a step back from it to truly

27km every day which can take between 4 ½ and 7 hours
to complete a day’s walk. On top of this you will need to
add in breaks, breakfast, lunch and dinners and the odd
game of football for those who aren’t done after a good
day of walking.
Your time spent in the hostels will create a sense of
camaraderie amongst your students as they demonstrate
their self control with the daily tasks required for a
successful day such as making the beds, tidying before
leaving in the morning, arriving at the meeting points on
time or even just packing and unpacking their bags each
day.
The Camino navigates through lovely Spanish countryside
with numerous signs showing you the way as well as
regular opportunities to break for food and refreshments.
