Walking the Camino de Santiago with Intrepid

Included in this itinerary:
International flights, one pre-night hotel stay and six nights along the Camino route, daily breakfasts and one local lunch, a local English-speaking guide, all transfers and luggage handling, and your official Pilgrim Passport.


Day 1: Arrive in Sarria


Your journey begins in Sarria, the most popular starting point for the final section of the Camino. After arrival transfers and check-in, you’ll meet your group and guide. You’ll also collect your Pilgrim Passport, which is stamped at stops along the route as proof of your journey. Spend the evening exploring the old town’s churches and enjoying a relaxed local dinner.

Day 2: Walk from Sarria to Portomarín


The first walking day takes you through shaded woodlands, quiet villages and rolling farmland. You'll pass ancient stone crosses, small chapels, and traditional horreos (raised grain stores unique to the region). The route ends in Portomarín, where you’ll cross a bridge into town and see the Church of San Nicolás, rebuilt stone-by-stone after the original town was flooded for a reservoir project in the 20th century.

Day 3: Walk from Portomarín to Palas de Rei


Today’s trail includes a mix of open countryside and wooded areas. A highlight is the visit to the Roman ruins of Castromaior, an archaeological site that gives insight into the area’s ancient past. The day ends in Palas de Rei, a small town known for its rural charm and local traditions. In the evening, you’ll take part in a Queimada ritual – a Galician drink prepared with fire and flavoured with herbs and citrus.

Day 4: Walk from Palas de Rei to Arzúa


This is one of the longest walking days, but also one of the most scenic. You'll pass through the town of Melide, where it’s traditional to try pulpo a la gallega (Galician-style octopus) at a local pulpería. Continue through small hamlets and green countryside to Arzúa, known for its dairy production – especially its locally made cheese.

Day 5: Walk from Arzúa to O Pedrouzo


The route today continues through shaded forests and agricultural land. You’ll see more pilgrims joining from different routes as you near the final destination. O Pedrouzo is a small town that serves as a good place to rest and prepare for the final walk into Santiago.

Day 6: Walk from O Pedrouzo to Santiago de Compostela


Your final day on the Camino ends in Santiago de Compostela, home to the famous cathedral where, according to tradition, the remains of St. James are buried. The last section takes you through the Monte do Gozo, where many pilgrims catch their first glimpse of the cathedral spires. On arrival, you’ll have time to explore the city and visit the Pilgrims’ Museum, which shares the history of the Camino route and the stories behind it.

Day 7: Departure


After breakfast, your journey ends. You’re free to explore more of Santiago, continue travelling in Spain, or return home. Additional nights in Santiago can be arranged on request.
