It was a wonderful holiday and a particular pleasure after the enforced break from overseas travel. The whole experience was varied, interesting and rewarding. The long walks were quite tough but they were interspersed with easier days. Staying in some wonderful hotels and eating and drinking well (it's Albarinho country), this is very much glam-pilgriming, but on the camino we felt part of something bigger - a rag-bag group of all ages, sizes and nationalities, heading in the same direction. This made the arrival in Santiago de Compostela a moving and fulfilling experience.
Santiago was amazing and I'm pleased we did it. We were fortunate with the weather but I would advise to prepare for all eventualities.
We saw several large Iberian Emerald Lizards on our walk from Combarro to Armenteira. They were far too quick for my camera. The scenery, the horreos and the number of ornate churches and chapels made this a very different walking experience.
Parador De Santiago was not only an exceptional hotel but the history of the building was also fascinating. It was definitely worth the upgrade and we would thorougly recommend it. Stunning!

A fantastic walking holiday and great route. Leaving the main Camino 'motorway' and following the 'Variante Espiritual' (VE) was very welcome and the 2 middle walking 'VE' days from Pontevedra to Vilanova de Arousa, including the climb up from Combarro, followed by the boat trip, were the highlights. The option of staying at the Parador de Santigo was well worth it - a truly memorable experience. We attended the Pilgrim's Mass at the Santiago de Compostela (Sunday was our day to explore) but standing room only despite being 45 minutes early so get there even earlier if you want a seat ! Wear warm and waterproof top clothing for the boat trip even if the weather is fine particularly if you are on an early morning departure. The 'A Noiesa' restaurant in Santiago was excellent but you need to make a reservation as popular (you can do this online). Inntravel's choice and variety of hotels, taxi and boat transfers, and the luggage transfer arrangements were all up to the extremely high standards that we have now come to expect.
What a lovely way to see Galicia, Spain! There were so many highlights... walking through all the fragrant eucalyptus forests, petting the many goats, cats, kittens, and horses along the way. Walking through the amazing green forest with all the sawmills and houses built in the Middle Ages, on the Ruta de la Piedra Y del Agua, between Vilanova de Arousa and Lestrobe. I loved how one day while walking next to vineyards along a forest path we heard a cuckoo bird calling (something we never hear in North America)!
Walking in mid May was wonderful as the days were sunny, the temperatures were very pleasant and the entire route was covered in endless varieties and colors of flowers. The Paradors are really special hotels, I wish we could have had guided tours of each one, as they held so much history and art. We met so many lovely pilgrims from all over the world, both on the trail and in the hotels, and it was so fun to bump into them again along the way. I would recommend wearing the most cushiony trail runners you can find. Good ventilation is a must. There is a lot of walking on pavement and cobbles so leather hiking boots are not the best option. As soon as you feel the tiniest blister coming on take care of it, there were many pilgrims with terrible blisters. It's not a technical walk so poles are not essential.
Be sure to stop at least once for an Estrella del Camino beer! The alcohol free ones are quite delicious too. The new restaurant, Emma Tapas in Tui was hands down the best tapas we had on our trip. The owner Isaac has paid great attention to every detail in the presentation and flavor of his food. The days went quickly and even the longest ones were not too difficult because of the distraction of all there was to see along the Way. Buen Camino!
There was a significant amount of pilgrim traffic on the first two days we walked the Camino. The route took us through town and subdivisions, walking mainly on tarmac and sometimes waiting at crosswalks for traffic lights to change. When we began the Variante Espiritual leaving Pontevedra, we encountered few other walkers and the route took us through woods and along streams--much more the experience we had anticipated. I was grateful to have brought a hiking pole and to have worn hiking boots for the additional ankle support they provide. There was no need for the water bottle I brought since all picnic lunches included water. We carried rain gear almost every day but were fortunate to only need it twice for short squalls.
With Inntravel arranging our accommodations and luggage transfers and providing walking instructions and notes, we had no concerns about logistics and were able to be present in walking the Camino.
We had a great holiday and discovered a region that we knew nothing about. From beginning to end everything ran like clockwork and was stress free. It was definitely worth using GPS to confirm any slight doubts in the route. Our favourite day was day 6, Meano to Vilanova details Arousa. Personally if you could arrange to have the piper in the square in Santiago removed as he played the same tune for 12 hours a day!! We will definitely recommend Inntravel and hope to holiday with you again. Thank you.
This was our 4th Inntravel Trip and what a fabulous return after a gap of over 2 years. We were a little anxious that the distances would be too much for us but we managed – there were some pretty long days – and have our Compostelas to prove it. Having walking poles with rubber tips were very useful for the tarmac paths, although the road walking wasn’t nearly as bad or as much as we feared. The route was quite different to other trips as it is so well waymarked with lots of other ‘pilgrims’ following the same route albeit with full backpacks and staying in less comfortable accommodation. We loved the atmosphere and particularly walking through Galicia. New for us this trip were the GPX tracks provided by Inntravel for each of the walking routes. We loaded them into the Wikiloc App and they were invaluable when we weren’t quite sure about the route notes or to gauge where we were.
The first two paradors were interesting, if a little quirky. It took us a while to realise that they all have a good Bar/Cafeteria menu of light snacks and meals that you can order to eat in the lounges or on the terraces. All the information about the hotel facilities is online with little printed information available unless you ask. The extra night in Pontevedra is recommended to recuperate and enjoy the area, even if it did pour with rain for the first couple of days. Once we got walking we soon realised that several of the cafes mentioned in the notes were not open or not until later in the day. So if you need coffee, loos or a stamp in your Pilgrim Passport, stop at the first one you see. Coffee is invariably served with cake and cold drinks with something savoury. At one café we were served mini-croissants, toast and jam plus a dish of Russian salad when we’d only ordered two Cortados and a Lemon Fanta. And everyone has a stamp including the man playing bagpipes in the woods, another selling drinks and even the Guardia Civil who were advising pilgrims on safety were happy to oblige.
The hotel Quinta de San Amaro at Meano is in a fabulous setting amongst vineyards. It’s well worth requesting the upgrade with balcony. The Parador de Santiago de Compostela was very special. If you stay there, do request the leaflet on its history. It’s actually a self-guided walking tour of the building covering nearly 80 information boards dotted about the hotel - fascinating.
What a beautiful break! The walk was sufficient to provide a challenge but was not too difficult. Highlights were the beautiful Galician countryside, the camaraderie of fellow peregrino, the lovely hotels and the boat trip from Vilanouva de Arouas. Would recommend this break to anyone with reasonable fitness.
Great walking and very enjoyable. Picnics pretty unimaginative.
The walk from Camberrow up to the monastery was exhausting - well worth taking the option to walk up and get some amazing views and a lovely woodland walk down into the monastery - which is beautiful.
Arriving in Santiago Cathedral Square - words cannot describe what you feel as all walkers come together to sing, dance, throw off their backpacks, or just sit quietly looking at the cathedral.
Arriving in the Parador - and drinking the cava so thoughtfully provided!
Tips would include a note emphasising importance of well fitting footwear. Our highlights were mainly the friendliness of pilgrims on the walk as well as the local public.
