Your journey winds through the heart of Galicia, offering an enchanting blend of landscapes - from ancient forests and traditional Spanish towns to breathtaking coastal views. Each step brings new discoveries, from centuries-old architecture to the rich cultural heritage of northern Spain.
Your safety and comfort are paramount. Our expert Challenge Leader, certified in Remote First Aid, will guide you throughout the journey, supported by our comprehensive support system including luggage transport and 24-hour emergency assistance. While the daily distances will test your endurance and the terrain presents a rewarding challenge, the route is thoughtfully designed to be accessible while maintaining the authentic Camino experience.

FAQs
This challenge is not designed for Olympic athletes – it is designed for people looking for an amazing goal to train and get fit for. A number of the people who will take part on this challenge will have a low level of fitness level when they sign up.
Our charity challenge following the Camino de Santiago Pilgrimage is the perfect motivation to get fit, improve your own mental and physical health and support your favourite charity in a big way.
We strongly recommend you train for the trek as we’ll be tackling some steep terrain on our way to Santiago and the fitter you are, the more you’ll enjoy it.
Once you register for the challenge, we’ll send you a realistic training plan. This builds up gradually over time so you’ll be ready and raring to go by the time we depart for Spain.
Please invest in a pair of quality hiking boots with ankle support to wear during your training and on your trek in Spain, as these are essential for walking on uneven terrain. We also recommend incorporating hills in your training walks.
