I have always heard people talking about the Camino de Santiago as something very special and spiritual. After doing it myself I can only confirm that everything they say about it is absolutely true. It was very nice to walk and chat with the group and get to know other walkers along the way. Such a great experience!!
Buen Camino!
Reaching Santiago de Compostela was the highlight of the week for me and sharing the moment with the rest of the group was amazing!
José was a great trip companion and leader. He was fun and professional at the same time,and always ready to help us throughout the Camino.
This was a very well-organized trek led by Jose, a lively, knowledgeable, and attentive guide. The accommodations were simple, but certainly adequate; the food was superb; and the trek itself beautiful in a quiet way.
I doubt I'd describe any moment as "inspirational;" it was overall just a pleasant experience. I did like meeting other pilgrims, some of whom were walking the Camino alone. It is obvious that the experiences they were having were much richer and perhaps more inspirational than can be had trekking with a group.
I can only give Jose the highest praise. He was fun, informed, sociable, and very concerned about the welfare of his group. I fell (in a cafe, not on the Camino !!!) and broke my pelvis four days into the walk, and although there was nothing to be done but to drop out and rest, he did his best to see to my comfort for the rest of the tour.
This walk is not particularly difficult, but the pace is quite fast, and there really isn't time to stop for short periods to savor the gorgeous views or to take photographs. The tour is rated "moderate" and asks for a"reasonable degree of fitness". Such wording is a bit too vague. I am over 70 and am very fit for my age, but as I said, I was a slower walker than most people in the group and always felt a little pushed to increase my pace.
A very well-organised trip with an excellent guide. Good company and plenty of laughs!
Seeing people of all ages doing this pilgrimage, some not for the first time and some not very able.Finding volunteers in little old churches willingly sitting stamping Pilgrim Passports for hours.The peace of Samos Monastery. Seeing storks nesting on a pole in someone's garden!Seeing the famous Botafumeiro (censer) in action at Santiago Cathedral at the Pilgrim's Mass.
Jose Manuel Garcia was brilliant - I cannot improve on the accolades given by a previous reviewer.We missed him once he left us but he left everything in order for the rest of our stay.When he knew I was learning Spanish he made a point of asking me the time etc to help me practise.
Do be very sure of your ability to walk some very long days back to back and be sure of your footwear (including socks). The walking is not difficult but the long days make it hard on the feet. Pack blister kits etc just in case. Don't panic once your leader has gone - Jose gave us all the contact numbers we might need on a slip of paper.If you don't speak Spanish learn some basics before you go - they will be useful and much appreciated. This is not the Costa del anywhere!
Superb holiday largely due to the hard work and care from the guide Jose.
Arrival in the Cathedral at Santiago was very moving, particularly the pilgrims service after the reflection of 8 days walking
Excellent, would have been hard to beat
Go if you get the chance but read the pilgrimage book by paulo coelho before you travel
A lovely week’s walking in the very green scenery of Northern Spain. There was a different feeling about this trip as you know you are following in the footsteps of the thousands of people that have walked that route as a pilgrimage since medieval times.
The moment when you are standing in front of the cathedral in Santiago de Compostella at the end of the walk. Also presenting your Pilgrim's passport complete with all it's stamps to get your certificate.
Jose was a brilliant leader who was always cheerful and made sure that every member of the group was happy and comfortable. He dealt with any situation efficiently and speedily.
Anyone going on this trip should ensure that they have very comfortable walking boots as some of the days are quite long. Also take some warm clothing as it was chillier than expected when I went (May). Keep an open mind about eating Octopus - it may be better than you think!
Five and a half days walking across a rather uninspiring part of northwest Spain, better walks in the Brecon Beacons.
Nothing really.
Our group leader was Spanish, excellent and spoke very good English. The advantage of having a native speaker leading the trail is obvious, he was able to advise on places to eat, menus and places to visit (not that there were many) and communicated well with locals and the various restauranteurs and hoteliers that we dealt with. He was always friendly and willing to please. Highly recommended.Jose (our leader) had to leave us on the Friday evening in order to lead another party (of cyclists) along "The Way", this left all day Saturday and Sunday until 1200 hours without a representative. Now, this wasn't really a problem but had anything gone astray, someone had an accident or one of the party had problems with, perhaps, the police, for example, then it could have been. I thought that we had paid for the whole package and that we should have received it!
The walk is along farm lanes, forestry type tracks and pavements which are hard surfaces and are hard on the feet. One day was just over 20 miles and the next about 20 miles. All the walkers were experienced and most had trouble with feet, joints or muscles.One person had such trouble with his feet that he had to take a taxi 20 miles to see a doctor who, because of the state of his feet, banned him from continuing.I think that the week should be "stretched" by one day to reduce these distances to a more acceptable level and one which would be more comfortable and enjoyable. Whilst "The Way" is a pilgrimage of sorts it should still be enjoyable and fairly relaxed.
An inspiring walk through rolling countryside with a great group and an excellent leader.
The achievement of reaching Satiago de Compostela and receiving my certificate in Latin!! Also, we attended high mass and saw the Botafumeiro being swung in the Cathedral trancept. Quite something.
Jose Garcia was an excellent tour leader. Always smiling, always helpful, he took all our group photos for us, ordered all our food and drink and sometimes served it in the many restaurants and cafes along the way. Dealt efficiently and promptly with an injury one of our number received and spoke very good English. I have had some good leaders on previous Exodus tours, but nobody better than Jose. In many ways he made the holiday. Ten out of ten.
The weather can be changeable so bring a range of clothing. Energy bars and snacks can be difficult to come by so make sure you take some with you and bring at least one pair of well worn in walking boots.
The walking was a pleasant surprise, because it was more challenging than I thought it would be. Long walks through lovely countryside with a group of very friendly people. What more could you ask for .The food was a little disappointing in taste but we never went hungry. Definately recommend it as a walk with a difference
Collecting the stamps for the pilgramage passport at the various bars, cafes and churches added an unusual aspect to the walking trip. A great keep sake at the end of a very pleasant week.
Our group leader was very entertaining and loved to talk about a wide range of topics. Very attentive and his tales of walking through the hills and mountains were a pleasure to listen too. Top marks
Keep an open mind about the food. It is geared for pilrims and so is cheap but plentyful.
