Itinerary

L'histoire du Chemin de Saint-Jacques remonte au IXe siècle, lorsque la tombe de l'apôtre évangélique Saint-Jacques a été découverte dans ce qui est aujourd'hui Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle. Depuis lors, des pèlerins du monde entier ont emprunté le chemin de Saint-Jacques, à l'origine pour obtenir le pardon de leurs péchés, et aujourd'hui souvent simplement pour passer du temps sur un chemin de croissance personnelle. Il s'agit d'une expérience stimulante, car elle implique un effort physique important : vous marchez à travers des forêts et le long de routes très fréquentées pendant de nombreux kilomètres chaque jour, pour un total d'environ 71 kilomètres.

Vos récompenses seront intangibles, mais inestimables : l'occasion de profiter de la nature, de méditer, de chercher des réponses et de repousser vos limites, de découvrir de magnifiques régions rurales du nord de l'Espagne et de vous faire des amis avec qui vous aurez partagé l'une des expériences les plus marquantes de votre vie. À la fin de votre voyage, détendez-vous lors d'une excursion en autocar à Finisterre et Muxia et d'une visite guidée de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle. Vous recevrez le certificat de Compostelle lorsque vous aurez parcouru l'intégralité du chemin à pied.

Tour program

Day 1

Jour 1 : ARRIVEE À MADRID, ESPAGNE

Check into your hotel and, if you have time, start exploring this bustling city on your own with the help of the CosmosGO app. Later, meet your tour companions during the included welcome dinner at your hotel. Your Tour Director will explain the dos and don’ts of the walk and give you some important advice. (D)

Day 2

Jour 2 : MADRID-SARRIE

Transfer to the train station to board the train to Sarria (you will be responsible for carrying your own luggage). On arrival, check in at the hotel and spend the evening at leisure, or spend free time to see the early-Gothic Church of O Salvador on the Main Street, the 13th- century Convent of the Magdalena at the outskirts of the old town, or just enjoy a chat with fellow pilgrims on the river walk next to the hotel. (B,D)
Today’s distance (by train): 313mi / 504 km

Day 3

Jour 3 : SARRIA-PORTOMARIN

Approximately 23 km/14.3 mi – Average 6 hrs. – Difficulty 3/3).
This is the real start of the journey. May every step be a thought on peace and an extension of loving kindness. Expect a peaceful walk in shady oak forest and through pretty villages on quiet country roads. The village of Barbadelo has a beautiful Romanesque church that is worth a visit. You will also pass through the village of Ferreiros. On arrival in Portomarín, relax at one of the many outdoor cafes in the main square. (B,D)

Day 4

Jour 4 : PORTOMARIN-LESTEDO

Approximately 20 km/12.5 mi – Average 4.5 hrs. – Difficulty 2/3.
Let your mind wander and your feet follow. Begin the day by crossing over the Belesar dam footbridge, then start a gradual climb to the village of Ligonde. This stage mainly runs along andanderos (paths) next to the road or, in some cases, along paved trails. There are many signs indicating the pilgrim route, including the famous cruceiros (crucifixes). Check out the Cruceiro of Lameiros and the Monastery of Our Saviour of Vilar de Donas (2 km/1.2 mi detour off the Camino). Overnight in Lestedo. (B,D)

Day 5

Jour 5 : LESTEDO-MELIDE

Approximately 18 km/11.2 mi – Average 4 hrs. – Difficulty 2/3.
Keep an open mind and heart, let go of expectations, and enjoy the feeling of freedom along this ancient pilgrim path. The Camino takes you into the province of Coruña, with its fine eucalyptus and pine expanses, and numerous medieval bridges, such as the ones in Leboreiro and Furelos. Melide is an obligatory stop for food lovers; the best-known local delicacy here is octopus. (B,D)

Day 6

Jour 6 : MELIDE-ARZUA

Approximately 14 km/8.7 mi – Average 3.30 hrs. – Difficulty 2/3.
The Camino can be a powerful catalyst for positive change. Today’s landscapes are similar to the previous day’s, with some idyllic locations such as the Camino in Ribadiso da Baixo near Arzúa. Arzúa is where the modern town with its bars, restaurants and the Church of St James overshadow the Medieval center. (B,D)

Day 7

Jour 7 : ARZUA-AMENAL

Approximately 25 km/15.5 mi – Average 6 hrs. –Difficulty 2/3.
Finding the courage to face our fears and stepping outside our comfort zone can lead us to self-discovery. The route today is a nice and leisurely walk over gentle slopes and through woodland, combined with some stretches along the road, which you will have to cross on occasions. (B,D)

Day 8

Jour 8 : AMENAL-SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA

Approximately 15 km/9.5 mi – Average 4 hrs. – Difficulty 2/3.
Our experiences and encounters are waymarks to the inner path. This is the last stage of your Camino de Santiago. Today, distance will not matter. There is a climb to San Marcos, from Lavacolla, passing Monte do Gozo before descending to Santiago de Compostela. Congratulations, you made it! If you have walked all stages of the Camino, and stamped your Pilgrim Passport, you will receive your Pilgrim Certificate. Give thanks by attending the [M] Pilgrim Mass in the magnificent Cathedral. (B,D)

You have reached your goal; now reach the end of the world.
