Discover the advantages of a group tour on the Camino de Santiago!

Hiking in a group of like-minded people offers much more than just shared steps: it creates a sense of camaraderie and support. You have the wonderful opportunity to meet new people, share experiences and perhaps even make friends for life.

For those traveling alone, a group tour also offers added security and a sense of belonging. Although the Camino is considered safe, traveling in a group can provide a reassuring sense of community.

Another advantage: shared experiences. Whether it's exciting group activities, communal meals or sharing special moments, you'll experience the Camino Frances from a whole new perspective in a group.

Last but not least, a group tour offers mental support. The Camino can be physically and mentally challenging. With a group at your side, you will receive motivation and encouragement that will help you overcome difficult passages and reach your goal of Santiago de Compostela.
The route from Vigo to Santiago on the Portuguese Way of St. James will be an unforgettable experience full of enriching memories and new connections when you travel in a group.

Would you rather discover the coastal path on your own? Visit our travel pages and plan your individual adventure! You have the choice between the coastal route and the inland route, both with their own unique charm.


Itinerary

The last 100 km from Vigo to Santiago de Compostela (upon request further to Fisterra)

Group travel with tour guide


Day 1: Vigo 
Transfer Santiago airport to Hotel in Vigo. Vigo is the largest fishing port in Spain, a cosmopolitan city that combines tradition and modernity. It is worth taking a stroll through the old town on your first day, enjoying the wonderful gastronomy of Galicia in its restaurants and getting lost in the streets of the center. On the horizon, the Cíes Islands, an Atlantic paradise. Dinner and overnight stay in Vigo.

Day 2: Vigo - Redondela (approx. 16 km / 4.5 hours)
The group leaves Vigo in the direction of Senda da Traida das Augas, where the Camino takes us to Redondela, where our inland route meets the Portuguese Way. Before reaching this point, we pass close to Trasmañó. To see the impressive waterfall, pilgrims can take a deviation of around 5 km. Forests and bays continue to accompany us on this stage. Dinner and overnight stay in Redondela.

Day 3: Redondela - Pontevedra (approx. 19.6 km / 5.5 hours)
We leave Redondela in the direction of Cesantes and Arcade, famous for its oysters. Accompanied by the Ría de Vigo bay, we cross hilly, dense forests until we reach the historic Ponte Sampaio bridge and Pontevedra. Dinner and overnight stay in Pontevedra.

Day 4: Pontevedra - Caldas de Reis (approx. 21.1 km / approx. 6.5 hours)
A more relaxed stage with much flatter terrain. We walk through small villages until we arrive in Caldas de Reis, where pilgrims can relax in one of the famous thermal baths. Dinner and overnight stay in Caldas de Reis.

Day 5: Caldas de Reis - Padrón (approx. 18.6 km / approx. 5.5 hours)
Today is one of the most scenic stages. Vineyards, cereal fields, the Bermaña Valley, chestnut forests, eucalyptus trees... The end of the stage is Padrón, the place of origin of the small green peppers (Pimientos de Padron). Dinner and overnight stay in Padrón.

Day 6: Padrón - Santiago de Compostela (approx. 24.3 km / approx. 7 hours)
The last stage of your Camino group tour. We take our cue from the railroad line and walk first towards Iria Flavia, then begin an ascent to "O Milladoiro" to finally see the towers of the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Here, the desire to arrive is combined with the wistful realization that the end of this unique experience is approaching. Dinner and overnight stay in Santiago de Compostela.

Day 7: Santiago de Compostela
Renaissance and Baroque architecture characterize the cityscape of Santiago, which is dominated by the mighty cathedral. A guided tour in and around the cathedral is planned for today. Almost 50 churches, arcaded streets and magnificent squares make Santiago de Compostela one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. A visit to the cathedral with the Pórtico de la Gloria and the tomb of St. James is considered the highlight of the pilgrimage. If you wish, you can take part in the pilgrimage service. In the afternoon you have time to explore or relax. Farewell dinner in a typical restaurant in the old town of Santiago. Dinner and overnight stay in Santiago de Compostela.

Day 8: Departure
Transfer from the hotel in Santiago to Santiago de Compostela airport. If possible, slowly enjoy your way back home. Alternatively, you can extend your individual Camino and hike to Cape Finisterre, not quite the most western place in Europe.

Alternatively: Continue to Finisterre

Day 8: Santiago de Compostela - Negreira (approx. 20.6 km/approx. 6 hours/easy)
You continue your Camino today to the so-called end of the world - to Cape Finisterre, which in reality is not quite the westernmost point of Europe. The way out of the Galician capital is, in contrast to yesterday's way into the center of Santiago, relatively fast and comfortable. As soon as we leave the city, we start a very pleasant route through rural landscapes with oak, pine and eucalyptus forests. The slopes are frequent but moderate, except for the Alto do Mar de Ovellas, where we have to overcome a height difference of 210 meters in just 2 kilometers.

Day 9: Negreira - Olveiroa (approx. 31 km / approx. 9 hours / challenging)
This is a long stage in a completely rural environment with many, mostly gentle, ascents. The first ten kilometers pass through lush pine, chestnut and oak forests, then the terrain becomes lighter. At the end, on the descent from Monte Aro, there is a beautiful view of the Xallas Valley and the large reservoir of Fervenza.

Day 10: Olveiroa - Cee (approx. 19.3 km / approx. 6 hours / easy)
Today we finally reach the Atlantic Ocean. Before this stage ends in Fisterra, we enjoy the magnificent surroundings. We walk through magnificent, lonely landscapes with frequent but gentle inclines, except for the steep descent to Cee.

Day 11: Cee - Fisterra (approx. 12.9 km / approx. 4 hours / very easy) Fisterra – Cape Finisterre (approx. 3.2 km / approx. 45 mins. / very easy)
Today's stage is almost a walk, along the sea, with sections of road, pine forests and beautiful beaches. Once in Fisterra, we can pick up the Fisterrana, a document certifying our pilgrimage to the end of the world. In the afternoon, we will walk the remaining 3.2 km to Cape Finisterre without our backpacks, to admire the sunset over the sea from there. The goal of this route to Finisterre is not to reach a city, pray at a tomb or receive a certificate, but something as simple and profound as the view of the sea from the rocks of a cape, where it is no longer possible to go further. A mythical place that was considered the end of the world until just 500 years ago. It is time to travel the last kilometers of our journey, to watch the sun set over the sea and to take stock of the days or weeks that have brought us so far. To be moved, to cry and to embrace other pilgrims and to confirm that we will undoubtedly return to the Camino, because the Camino is now an inseparable part of each of us.

Day 12: Departure
Transfer from the hotel in Fisterra to Santiago de Compostela airport.
