Camino with a difference
As a small group, a family or couples, are you considering walking the Camino de Santiago de Compostela?
Having had feedback from Pilgrims we decided to offer a unique way to walk the Camino, but without the hassle.
Some of the issues facing Peregrinos are as follows:
-
The worry of turning up and having to hunt for a place to stay that will accommodate you all - crowded dorms, sleeping on floors, paying for premium rate rooms or even walking further in the hope of a bed for the night.
-
Setting off before sunrise in the hope of getting to an albergue or refugio (hostel) that has beds free.
-
Carrying all of your equipment, clothing and essentials on your back - leaving things you might need because the weight is an issue.
-
Not knowing the best places to eat - particularly if you're vegan or vegetarian.
-
Packing and unpacking daily, sharing a dorm with snoring strangers as well as language and cultural issues - we could go on and on!
There is a unique solution
By booking our classic Hymermobil campervan and driver, we offer a tailor made service that guarantees your group have beds for the night waiting for you at the end of each day. We'll carry all of your gear so you only need a day-pack when walking. This means you can bring extra essentials and necessities such as clothing, spare boots, comfy shoes and food. We'll even sort out your laundry and get provisions for you if you want.
We offer three basic options - book the van for a month to do a full trip, or, when we're not doing full trips, book it either for one week or two weeks to do the final leg to Santiago. Need it for a few days longer? No problem - we're flexible because we know you can't rush a magical trip like this.
We can usually accommodate 4 people on each journey, so the van can be booked by a group, family* or couples.
*For families we can accommodate more - just ask.
Check out the FAQ page, or get in touch via the Contact page.
