Planning a Camino de Santiago journey can feel overwhelming. The French Way, Portuguese Coastal Way, wine routes through Galicia, cycling journeys and lesser-known Caminos all offer very different experiences.
In our latest guide, we look beyond the walking itself and explore how you can experience the Camino through Galicia’s food, wine, local culture and landscapes.
Discover some of our favourite ways to experience the Camino, from walking through Albariño wine country and Atlantic fishing villages to exploring the Camino do Vino do Ribeiro, cycling from Portugal to Santiago, joining local food tours, visiting markets and wineries, and adding a Galician cooking experience before or after your pilgrimage.
With Xacobeo 2027 approaching, now is a great time to start thinking about the kind of Camino experience you would like to have.
