The Camino de Santiago is without a doubt the most famous pilgrimage trail in Europe and makes for an unforgettable walking or cycling holiday.

In the 9th century the tomb of the apostle St. James was unearthed in Compostela. The site became the focus of a pilgrim trail beginning in France and crossing Northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela. This journey, also known as the Way of St. James or Compostela Trail winds its way across borders. It follows in the footsteps of thousands of medieval pilgrims through the beautiful Sierras of Navarre and Aragon. On our Camino walks in Spain, you'll pass a multitude of churches and monasteries, resembling a travelling museum of Romanesque art.

While there are many different routes to Santiago de Compostela, the most well-known of the Camino de Santiago walks are in France and Spain. With so many options available it can be confusing for the modern-day traveller to know exactly which one they should do. Walkers' Britain offers a selection of walking holidays along the Camino de Santiago in Spain.

Because of its geographical location, you can complete the majority of our Camino walks in Spain yearround with the warmer months being from April to October.

Trip reviews

Best of the Spanish Camino

Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆

The Best of Camino tour exceeded my expectations! For context this was my first trip to Spain, first walking holiday AND group tour. Our small group size made it easy to get to know each person. The hotels selected were comfortable and in great locations. I enjoyed all the “pilgrim” meals especially the final night in Santiago. Our guide, Sergio selected the walks that would showcase the best of the landscape. He kept us safe, guided us and we learned so much about the culture through Sergio. Our driver Miro, moved us safely to all start points, took care of our bags and poles, always with a smile. It IS “Best of Camino”, the best guide, the best driver, the best accommodations, meals and best value for money. I have recommended UTracks to friends and family and look forward to my next adventure!
