Lodging

You will be staying in quaint hotels along the way. We have chosen great little places that sometimes are off the path and will require us to drive you a few miles in each direction. A few of the hotels are reserved only for our group. Most rooms are double occupancy but we have a few single rooms that are given on a first come first serve basis. Accommodations are clean and simple with en suite bathrooms.

 

 

 

 

 

Healthy Fare

Included on your retreat is breakfast, lunch, dinner, water and snacks. You might need a few euros for any extra drinks or goodies you decide to get along the way. You will be served a healthy preset "Pilgrim Menu” with choice of fish, meat or a vegetarian option and always accompanied by a mixed green salad.

This pilgrimage will take you out of your comfort zone on many levels. For example, gluten free breads rarely exists so flexibility is required here.

We are not going to restrict our guests from the whole Camino experience; where sharing a glass of wine with fellow pilgrims is a common ritual at dinner time. We let it be a personal choice what to have or not.

This is part of the fun and exciting experiences of The Camino!!!!
