  • This is a pilgrimage: we take care around pilgrims on foot.
  • On long routes, there is a rest day roughly every 8 days.

Meals included

  • Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
  • Water, soft drinks, herbal tea or coffee, of your choice.
  • Menu of your choice: starter, main course and dessert.

Alcoholic drinks and appetisers between meals are not included in our published rates.

Adaptations

If a group would like to make any changes, we will try to adapt the programme to suit them.
