There’s never been a better time to plan your Camino de Santiago adventure. 

CaminoWays.com, the walking and cycling holiday specialists, have just announced their line-up of exciting Camino guided tours for 2016. 

French Way

This is the most popular guided tour, covering the last 100km of the famous French Way. Join fellow pilgrims in the historic town of Sarria, venture through the beautiful countryside, sampling delicious food and wine and discovering local customs as you go. 

English Way

Join CaminoWays.com on their new route which departs from the coastal city of Ferrol in Galicia in June. The English Way, traditionally taken by pilgrims from Ireland and Britain, passes through picturesque coastal towns like Betanzos and Pontedeume. 

Finisterre Way

The Finisterre Way tour is unique as it’s the only one which begins in Santiago de Compostela. Pilgrims head West towards the stunning craggy coastline of the Atlantic, discovering fascinating traditions, delicious seafood and incredible landscapes on the way. 

Portuguese Coastal Way

Starting in the seaside resort of Baiona in Galicia, the Portuguese Coastal Way is a popular choice for walkers looking for a less travelled Camino path. Explore Monte Real castle and enjoy the breath-taking views of the magnificent Illas Cíes and Vigo Bay on your adventure. 

Walk and Coach 

With manageable 8-10km walks each day and plenty of rest time, the Walk and Coach is the easiest Camino guided tour of all. Take in the historical architecture and majestic monuments of León, visit the famous Templars Castle in Ponferrada and be wowed by the traditional dwellings in O Cebreiro. 

Across the Pyrenees

Beginning in St Jean Pied de Port in the French Basque Country, this tour crosses the Pyrenees and finishes in the legendary city of Pamplona, famous for its annual bull run. This section of the French Way is ideal for trekkers who want a challenge – the amazing views are definitely worth the effort!
