Follow The Camino

20/10/2026

Blue skies and unusually warm temperatures on the Camino this October. ☀️

As our guide Mark Auchincloss shares from the trail, these changing conditions are a reminder of the bigger conversation around climate change, and the impact of how we travel.

As a B Corp, we believe responsible tourism starts with understanding our footprint. We’ve been measuring the carbon emissions of the trips we organise since 2015, including accommodation and transfers, to better understand our impact and identify where we can do better.

We love the Camino, and we want to help protect it.

Thank you, Mark, for sharing this moment from the Camino with us! 🌿

Says who? 😉

The Camino isn’t about being the youngest, the fastest or the fittest. It’s about finding your own pace, enjoying the journey and discovering what you’re capable of.

With the right route, comfortable accommodation and support along the way, the Camino can be an experience to enjoy at many different stages of life.

And whether you choose to walk independently or join one of our small guided groups, your Camino should work for you — not the other way around.

You’re not too old. You just need the right Camino for you. 🥾

Some journeys stay with us long after we’ve taken the last step 💚

In 1983, Nobel Prize-winning writer Anne Carson walked the Camino de Santiago, continuing all the way to Finisterre. Her pilgrimage later inspired Types of Water: An Essay on the Road to Compostela.

A reminder that the Camino is more than a walk. It’s a chance to slow down, see the world differently, and discover something new along the way.

Where could the Camino take you? 🥾

Some people bring home a shell. Some bring home a Compostela. And some bring home the Camino — permanently. ❤️

A tattoo can be a little reminder of the miles walked, the people met, the challenges overcome, and the feeling of finally arriving in Santiago.

These three pilgrims made their Camino memories permanent last week. 🥾✨

Would you get a Camino tattoo?

+500,000 pilgrims 💙

On Sunday, Guadalupe Idalia Goicoechea Salinas from Mexico became the 500,000th pilgrim to receive her Compostela in Santiago this year. She walked the Camino Francés from Sarria with her husband and son.

But behind that number are 500,000 different reasons to walk, 500,000 stories, and countless moments that happened along the way.

And there are still plenty more footsteps to come.

Congratulations, Guadalupe, and Buen Camino to everyone still on the Way! 🥾✨

“Every member of our group talked about how impressed they were with the package you put together for us. Every place we stayed was welcoming and dedicated to good service. You were very patient with all of my questions and prompt with the answers.

If you need someone to be a reference for your service, I’m your guy.”

— Greg (a very happy Camino pilgrim) 💚

Well, they did it. And survived 😉. Buen Camino!

Did you know the Botafumeiro once appeared on Spain’s 5 peseta coin? 🪙✨

Before the euro, this little piece of Camino history could be found in the pockets of Spaniards across the country.

The coin featured the famous Botafumeiro of Santiago de Compostela — a symbol that has swung through the cathedral for centuries, welcoming pilgrims at the end of their journey.

From an old 5 peseta coin to the Cathedral of Santiago… some Camino symbols really do stand the test of time. 💚

Would you have recognized it?

The Camino doesn't have to end in Santiago.

Continue towards the Atlantic, through quiet villages, ancient bridges, and landscapes that invite you to slow down.

📍 Ponte Maceira (Camino Finisterre)

Because sometimes, the most memorable moments happen between the destinations.

And, of course, it belongs to the thousands of travellers who have trusted us to help make their Camino journey a meaningful one.

Thank you to the All-Ireland Business Foundation for this recognition, and to our team and travellers for being part of our story.
