8 days, Self-Guided for 2 people or more, Seasonal Daily Departures

Enjoy this incredible pilgrimage in true comfort staying in 5* paradors and various other salubrious accommodation on your journey from Leon to Santiago.
As you will be following exactly the same route as our standard self-guided trip you still walk the final 100km and qualify for the official pilgrim's certificate although due to the rural nature of this area, transfers are usually required at the end or start of the day's walk in order to access the more upmarket hotels and manor houses.

Starting in Leon you can stay at one of only two 5* paradors in Spain, built in the 16th century as a monastery and pilgrim's hospital, you will then be transferred to Astorga and onto Sarria, to a hotel with one of the finest restaurants in the province.

In Portomarin and Castaneda you will stay in former paradors which have been turned into privately run traditional country hotels with very fine ambiences.
At Pazo de Andeade you sleep in an 18th century noble home recently restored, with one of the region's best restaurants.

Finally on arrival at Santiago you will enjoy a sojourn at the most prestigious hotel in Spain and one of the world's oldest hotels - the 5* Parador Reyes Catolicos! This former pilgrim's hospice and hospital with four cloisters and fabulous stone-carved facade was founded in the 15th century by the Catholic monarchs Fernando and Isabel. The building is a national monument and shares Obradoiro Square with the famous cathedral. Alternatively we can also offer the 5* Palacio del Carmen, a recently restored former 16th century convent which exudes quality and fantastic service. An extra night here is highly recommended.

A journey of soul and spirit but with a little luxury to help you along the way! Early booking is essential as the Paradors are very popular and are often booked a year in advance.
