A tailor-made trip is a program specifically designed to meet the needsof each client and is self-guided so you can go at your own pace.

The travel dates are fully flexible, allowing you to choose when to start and finish the Camino based on your availability. The stages are set according to the recommended distance, the days you have available, and your budget.

Accommodation is provided in our network of private hostels, guesthouses, hotels, rural houses, manors, and paradors, always considering the client's preferences and maintaining the required minimum quality standards in each case.

You can do it whenever you wish. The dates are fully flexible and tailored to you, so you can start and finish whenever you want. After preparing a custom quote for your trip, we will confirm the availability of everything you need so you can book for the dates that suit you and complete the Camino de Santiago with peace of mind.

No, for tailor-made trips there is no minimum or maximum number of people. You can do the Camino alone or with as many people as you wish, without any issues.

All our tailor-made trips include, as a default, all nights in the type of accommodation requested by the client, including the night before starting the Camino and the night upon completion after reaching the destination, breakfasts, the Pilgrim's Credential required for daily stamps during the stages, comprehensive travel insurance, luggage transfer between accommodations so you don't have to carry it, and complete travel documentation with accommodation reservations, the guide for the Camino you will follow, and various instructions regarding all included or optional services you may have contracted.

The most significant difference between a tailor-made trip and a group trip is that, in the latter, you would be part of an organized group with a guide and support vehicle, while in a tailor-made trip, there is no guide or such vehicles. Additionally, group trips depart on a fixed date and have a set duration, while tailor-made trips are flexible in both dates and stage duration.

Group trips consist of itineraries designed by Pilgrim to undertake the Camino de Santiago as part of an organized group.

The main values of group trips are, first of all, the guide, who will accompany the group throughout the journey and lead the different stages, explaining everything encountered along the way. Additionally, there will be a support vehicle available throughout the trip, responsible for transporting any individuals who may need to leave the stage. Furthermore, the groups include valuable services such as dinners, luggage transfer between stages, and a welcome package.

All our group trips include:

A certified guide accompanying you throughout all stages, Emergency vehicle

All nights in high-quality accommodations such as Superior Guesthouses, Hotels, Rural Houses, and Manors

Breakfasts and dinners

Pilgrim's Credential

Luggage transfer between stages

A welcome package including a backpack, cap, and scallop shell

Additionally, you will have comprehensive travel insurance and full documentation.

Groups are organized based on the Caminos and dates most in demand by our clients, so, at the moment, you can only do the French Camino and the Portuguese Camino with an organized group, where you will join other pilgrims you don't know.

On the other hand, if you have a formed group of more than 8 people, we can prepare a tailor-made trip for you that includes all the services offered in our guided Caminos. Feel free to contact us without obligation.

There is a wide variety of profiles in our guided groups; you can find people traveling alone, couples, families generally ranging from 3 to 5 members, groups of friends, etc. Additionally, there is a great variety of ages, which, combining both factors, makes the groups a very interesting option to enjoy the Camino while meeting many different people and learning from everyone in the group.

Each group member can walk at their own pace; there is no obligation to keep up with the group's pace. It will depend on each person's abilities, age, physical preparation, and many other factors. However, our guide will be very attentive to all members to ensure you enjoy the stage without any issues.

Initially, group rooms are double rooms with two beds, designed for you to share a room with another group member or someone accompanying you.

If you wish, you can have a single room (subject to availability) for a small supplement.

Throughout the Camino, there are numerous meeting points with the guide and the rest of the group, where the pilgrim can decide if they want to abandon the stage due to any mishap, discomfort, or injury. At that point, the emergency vehicle protocol will be activated to contact the vehicle and arrange for the transfer to the end of the stage.

No, your luggage will be transported from one accommodation to another so you can walk comfortably and without any weight. During the stage, you only need to carry a small backpack with essentials (water, a snack, some nuts, mobile phone, documents, etc.). For this, Pilgrim provides you with a comfortable, small-sized backpack that will serve this purpose.

Packaged experiences are trips specially designed by our team of experts that cover the most popular sections of the Camino and include the most common added services to ensure your trip is carried out in the best possible way.

Packaged experiences include all accommodations of the indicated category, breakfasts, luggage transfer between stages, the Pilgrim's Credential, comprehensive travel insurance, and full documentation with all the necessary instructions.

You will walk alone or with those who book the trip with you, that is, with your same group. In mid and high season, on most Caminos, you will find dozens of people during the stages and at the various accommodations with whom you are sure to share an exceptional experience.

Of course, even though these are initially fixed experiences where the itinerary has been designed not to be modified, we do allow you to add any services you deem necessary for your experience, such as transfers, extra nights, bike rental, etc., or even remove those that you don't want included, such as the night before starting the Camino, the night after finishing the trip, luggage transfer between stages, or breakfasts.

The remaining services must remain because they are essential for the logistics and proper functioning of the trip.

Of course, even if you're traveling alone, you can buy one of our packaged experiences without any issue. Although the price is usually indicated based on a double room, you can easily book the experience by paying the supplement for a single room.

Of course, you can gift one of our experiences to anyone you choose.

In this case, the person you specify will receive a gift voucher for the experience you have booked as a gift, or for a specific amount that they can redeem for one of the experiences they choose.

Most towns are already prepared to cater to pilgrims, so you'll easily find places to buy provisions or stop for something to eat or drink.

On our website, you'll find information about the services available at each stage.

It is not common to find public toilets along the Camino, so the most usual solution is to use the toilets in various cafeterias and bars along the route.

In many places, you may need to make a purchase in order to use the toilets available to the public.

You'll find various fountains along the Camino where you can refill your bottle or canteen with water. However, we ask that you only do so if the fountain clearly indicates that the water is potable and safe to drink.

If there is no indication, you should avoid drinking from it to prevent the risk of infections or stomach issues, and you can purchase water at various supermarkets or bars along the Camino.

Mobile coverage along the route has been significantly improved by various public administrations and telecommunications companies, so you'll find good coverage throughout almost the entire route.

However, in predominantly rural areas, coverage may occasionally be limited or even nonexistent until you reach a location with a signal repeater.

Public transportation exists between some towns at specific hours, but in some cases, it may not be easy to access, depending on the schedules of different companies and each town. Taxis may be an alternative if public transportation is unavailable and you are unable to finish the stage.

Initially, group rooms are double rooms with two beds, designed for you to share a room with another group member or someone accompanying you.

If you wish, you can have a single room (subject to availability) for a small supplement.

Luggage transfer between stages is a service we offer that allows you to walk without carrying your luggage, as we will transfer your backpack to the next accommodation, and you only need to focus on walking.

By default, it is included in all our trips, but you can remove it if you don’t want it or add it to trips where it was not initially included.

This service can be booked with just 24 hours' notice before the start of the trip or during the trip.

Please note that this service is not available on all sections of the Camino. For more information, consult with our Planning agents.

Your luggage will be transported in a van from one of our partner companies, depending on the Camino and the stages.

You will receive all the necessary instructions to carry out the service daily. You just need to leave it at the reception of each accommodation with an identifying label that we will provide, and it will be transferred to the reception of the next accommodation.

The maximum weight for each piece of luggage is 15 kilograms, and only one item will be transported per person. Additional luggage can be transported by paying the corresponding fee.

You can transport as many suitcases as you wish per person by paying the corresponding fee for each suitcase, with a maximum weight of 15kg.

We advise against including delicate items in the backpacks or suitcases to be transported, as the insurance only covers the loss of luggage, not damages to its contents.

However, if you choose to transport a laptop, tablet, or any other delicate item, we recommend that it be as protected as possible inside the luggage to avoid any incidents.

For luggage transportation, we have insurance that covers loss or misplacement, but it does not cover damages to the internal contents of your luggage, as we do not know its prior condition.

Bike programs do not include bike rental; this is an optional service that you can request separately.

We have MTB (mountain bikes) and electric bikes (e-bikes), both specially designed for bike tourism and for trips like the Camino de Santiago, which combines dirt paths, cobblestones, and stretches of asphalt.

You can find all the information about our rental bikes by clicking here.

All our bikes come with complete equipment, including: a pair of waterproof panniers with 20 liters of capacity each, a brand new water bottle, a multi-tool kit, ergonomic grips, a lock, and a puncture repair kit.

The only thing not included is the helmet, which is not rented for hygiene reasons, but you have the option to purchase a brand new one.

If you wish, you can rent the bike without equipment, although this is not recommended. Even if you are transferring your luggage during the stages, it is advisable to always have panniers with a puncture kit, a multi-tool, and a lock on the bike for any unforeseen events or stops during the stage.

Your rental bike will be delivered to the first accommodation the night before starting the Camino. If we have not managed your reservation with the accommodation, you will need to make sure they accept the delivery of the bike. If you are not staying the first night at the starting point, we will inform you of the pick-up point after your booking.

The bikes are shipped in a special box for transport, nearly assembled. However, you will need to adjust the handlebars to the correct height and attach the pedals.

For this, you will have a multi-tool and simple instructions inside the box with your rental bike.

On some occasions, depending on the destination and bike type, you may also need to install the front wheel if it has been removed, with the multi-tool provided for assembly.

No, unfortunately, we cannot rent only the equipment for our bikes.

Camino assistance is a service designed for our rental bikes, and we cannot offer it if you travel with your own bike, as we do not know its initial condition and whether it is ready for a route like the Camino de Santiago.

If we manage all your accommodations, we will ensure that each one has a safe place for bikes, where you can leave it securely while you sleep.

If, on the other hand, you manage your own accommodations, it is important to check this when making your reservation.

You should inform the reception staff that you have a bike to store when you arrive at the accommodation.

If you get injured or are tired, you can use the 24-hour assistance phone to arrange a transfer for you and your bike to the next accommodation. If the injury is due to a cause covered by your travel insurance, the cost of the transfer may be covered by the insurance. In all other cases, the cost of the transfer will be paid directly at the time.

If it is one of our rental bikes, you will have a puncture repair kit and a phone assistance number to guide you on how to proceed in case of a mechanical failure.

We have a customer support phone service that is available only to customers who have rented bikes from us. From this service, we will guide and assist you in fixing the flat, and in case of a breakdown, the technician will assess the procedure to follow.

Depending on the specific Camino, the most common experience is a combination of trails and asphalt. However, depending on your physical preparation and the type of bike you travel with, you can use many of the dirt sections designed for walking pilgrims, thus avoiding the asphalt.

On the other hand, if your physical preparation is more limited and your bike is not entirely suitable for the Camino, you can use the existing variants that run on asphalt, as in some cases, the trail sections are not suitable for cyclists due to being too narrow, too steep, or too rough.
