Good to know
Accommodation
The Camino de Santiago offers simpler accommodation, which does not always include twin beds. B&R has access to the best in the region, where luxury presents itself in the form of local charm, comfort and great service.
Packing
To comfortably walk the Camino de Santiago, we recommend packing a pair of good, water-resistant hiking or trail shoes with good tread. Be sure to break in new footwear before the trip.
Dining
Be aware that lunches and dinners are scheduled later and take longer than you may be used to, as is typical in Spain.

Travelling through historic villages and romantic vineyards and up to striking viewpoints, our routes offer a variety of challenges for every activity level.
Friends for Life
Your fellow travellers are as passionate and curious about the world as you are, which means the conversations and laughs will be as free flowing as your drink of choice. Don't be surprised if your group starts planning a reunion before the trip is done.
Room for Surprises
We love a plan, but we adore a spontaneous moment even more. Whether it's an impromptu al fresco meal or a moon-lit musical performance, our advice is to expect the unexpected.
So many special moments along the Camino.
There were so many special moments along the Camino, it would be impossible to single out one. Many of the vistas were stunning, and the hikes themselves were a good balance of challenging and fun.
