Where You'll Stay
Nights are spent in small, family-run hotels and guesthouses that have been welcoming Camino walkers for many years. All rooms are ensuite, and the atmosphere is characteristically warm, with most fellow guests sharing the same journey.
Note: Single rooms are available but limited on this route. If travelling with others but requiring a single room, early booking is strongly advised. A single occupancy fee applies.
What You'll Eat
Breakfasts are included throughout the walk. Many of the accommodations have their own restaurants serving regional dishes with local ingredients, and dinners can be added as a supplement each evening if preferred. Lunches are yours to discover along the way — local cheeses, cured meats and the remarkable variety of breads found along the Camino make for a great midday spread.
Note: Please advise us of any food allergies or intolerances at the time of booking so we can inform your hosts. If you have severe allergies, bringing some of your own snacks is recommended.
