Ride one of the oldest pilgrimage routes in the world
Ride one of the oldest pilgrimage routes in the world
The Camino de Santiago runs across northern Spain, originating in the Galicia region where the tomb of the apostle James the Great was discovered in the ninth century. Also known as the Way of Saint James, it is marked by a scallop shell symbol and the joining grooves are said to represent the many different routes pilgrims take to reach Santiago. The gothic cathedrals, medieval monasteries and miles of beautiful rural scenery make this section of the ancient route so popular.
In April and October, expect temperatures between 5C-15C (41F-59F) with a high chance of rain showers. In the mornings, it is often cloudy and more temperate. Temperatures in May and September tend to be warmer than April and October. Expect a combination of sun, light showers and clouds. July and August are typically sunny and warm with temperatures of 15C-30C (59F-86F).

Six days of cycling
Average distance: 33mi (53km) per day
Partial vehicle support
Terrain and route: 70 percent on quiet minor roads and 30 percent on a mixture of cycle paths, non-technical tracks and a few off-road sections
Wearing a cycling helmet is compulsory on this trip. This tour can be cycled with an e-bike (additional charge applies). For those who are less confident with six days of self-powered cycling but are keen to experience this pilgrimage, we recommend an e-bike. Our guides are experienced in managing groups with both push bikes and e-bikes, and many of our clients enjoy the flexibility that an e-bike offers. Please speak to us if you would like to add this option to your booking.
As we are passing through rural communities the roads are quiet with very little traffic; however, you will be sharing the route with walkers and cyclists all on their way to Santiago de Compostela. There is one long but gradual climb on the second cycling day of the trip, but the support vehicle will be available if you prefer to opt out. Alternatively, there is the opportunity to walk along the hiking track. There are a few cobbled sections where you should take care, particularly in wet conditions. This trip is ideal for confident cyclists who exercise regularly and have a strong level of fitness.
