For centuries, travelers have walked these sacred paths across Spain in search of reflection, renewal, and the joy of arriving at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. This itinerary brings together the beauty of Northern Spain’s landscapes, the depth of its history, and the quiet strength of the Camino spirit.
Welcome to Spain! Upon arrival at Madrid Barajas Airport, begin with a panoramic drive through the capital’s grand avenues and stately landmarks. See the Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor, and elegant boulevards that define this vibrant city before checking in to your hotel and resting for the journey ahead.
