Walk

PORTUGAL TRIP NOW FULL. SPAIN trip details to appear on Bilby soon.

Starting from Porto, Portugal we'll spend 14 days walking the quieter (inland) pilgrimage route north to Santiago de Compostela. We'll be utilising the services of a local company to book all our accommodation, provide our dinners and breakfasts, and most importantly to transfer our bags each day so we only walk with a day pack. A chance to experience wonderful culinary delights, walk through small hamlets, over ancient bridges and parts of Spain dating back to the Roman times. When we cross the Spanish border to walk our last 100kms we will qualify for the Compostela certificate once we arrive at the famous cathedral. This trip is being advertised now to take advantage of a special 10% discount (which I've been able to negotiate until end of September 2024). Price is $A3090 pp atm.

If you are interested in joining me then please click here for more information - https://www.utracks.com/Portugal/Self-Guided-Walking/The-Portuguese-Camino-Porto-to-Santiago. A non-refundable deposit of $400 per person will be required.

At the completion of the walk you can go your own way or you may wish to join me as we head across to Spain where I intend to offer two weeks of walking around Granada (Los Alpujarras) and Arenas de San Pedro. This Spanish component will be advertised separately on Bilby and is purely optional.

PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY FLIGHT OR HOTEL BOOKINGS. DO NOT BOOK SEPARATELY WITH UTRACKS. When bookings in Bilby close (3 September), and I have confirmed your participation, I will be in touch with you by email to confirm exact dates, finalise your accommodation preferences (twin share or single room), get your name as per your passport etc etc. When I have these details from you I will be making the group booking on behalf of all of us with Utracks. I will then be able to send you travel dates, suggested airlines etc.
