Camino Walking Retreat

Yes. This retreat is designed to be accessible whether you’re a first-time pilgrim or a seasoned walker. You don’t need to speak Spanish, navigate alone, or plan the logistics. We take care of the details — so you can focus on your journey.

Most days involve about 14 miles of walking, with breaks throughout the day. We strongly encourage you to walk at a pace that supports reflection over performance — this is not a race.

You’ll have plenty of support: from coaching conversations to help processing what’s coming up, to optional luggage transfer services so you can walk light. If you need a shorter day or want to skip a section, we’ll help you find alternate plans.

No — we encourage personal rhythm. You may find connection in walking with others one day, and deep reflection in solitude the next. Everyone meets up at shared meals and for the coaching sessions, but you are free to walk alone or with others depending on what you need that day.

Absolutely. This isn’t a packed itinerary. It’s an invitation to slow down. There’s space every day for rest, journaling, reflection, and wandering at your own pace.

The Camino doesn’t end in Santiago, and your transformation doesn’t end when the walking stops. We offer post-retreat reflection materials and optional coaching to help you integrate what you’ve experienced into what comes next.

Most days follow a simple rhythm: walk, rest, reflect, connect.

• Morning: We offer warm-up stretching and a reflective question for the day before breakfast. Most days we start walking after breakfast. You’ll settle into your own pace — sometimes in conversation, sometimes in silence.

• Midday: We pause for lunch and rest. These breaks are informal and vary depending on where we are.

• Afternoon: After arriving at our destination, you’ll have time to shower, relax, journal, or schedule a short 1-on-1 coaching session.

• Evening: We come together for a group conversation to reflect on the day, followed by a nourishing shared meal.

• Every part of the day is optional based on what you want and feel you need. Like all good coaches, we are here to help and support you on your journey. Our belief is 'one size fits one,' and our goal is to make you experience uniquely personal and wonderful.

Typical walking distance: 10–15 miles (16–24 km)

Terrain: Coastal and rural roads with some moderate hills

Pace: Gentle and supportive. We walk together, but not in lockstep. You are encouraged to meet new people and take time to be alone and just be with yourself.

We're so glad you asked!

For many pilgrims, the walk to Finisterre and Muxía is not just an extension of the Camino — it’s a deepening.

Finisterre, whose name means "Land’s End," offers a symbolic place to pause, release, and reflect. For centuries, pilgrims have come here to burn old clothes or leave behind something meaningful — not as a rule, but as a ritual. You’ll stand at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, watching the sun set into the sea, with a renewed sense of completion and clarity.

Muxía, just north along the coast, is quieter and more mystical. This fishing village is home to legends of Mary arriving by stone boat and a chapel perched where waves crash against ancient rocks. Many pilgrims feel a different kind of peace here — as if this final destination offers both closure and beginning.

Walking to the ocean after reaching Santiago allows time for your experience to settle and transform.

There are fewer crowds. Fewer distractions. More time to just be.
