Cycling El Camino de Santiago

Picture
For more than a thousand years, since the bones of St. James the Apostle, were reputedly discovered here in 813 AD; common people, thieves, beggars, writers, bishops, priests, kings, popes, saints - even Shirley Maclaine - have made the famous pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago. ​

"... a pilgrimage across northern Spain to the sanctuary at Santiago de Compostela, is the finest journey in Spain and one of the two or three best in the world." wrote James Michener in his monumental book on Spain, Iberia.

Many routes lead to Santiago, but the most popular cycling trail and for some the most sacred, is the Camino Francés, along the North of Spain, and that is the route you will closely follow on this exciting 7 day bicycle journey.

Quality Assured

Could not rate these guys highly enough. They had to put up with endless questioning from our party prior to our arrival, to ensure we were going to be using the correct type of bike and kit etc. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We would have no hesitation in recommending these guys. We enjoyed every minute of our Camino and can't wait for the next one now!
