    Camino de Levante 2023
    Our journey on the Camino del Levante started in Valencia and ended in Zamora. More than a month of walking through very particular landscapes with hypnotic lights, mostly made of long straight lines conducive to introspection and solitude, hence our choice for this very solitary path; we only met two pilgrims there. We thank everyone who helped us, including residents, farmers, ayuntamientos (town halls), etc.

    Camino experience with Walks in Spain
    We were a group of 12 from Singapore and Australia who went on the Camino pilgrimage from Saria to Compostela de Santiago in October 2023. Everything was arranged perfectly by Walks in Spain. Our contact was Paul. But we never got to meet him personally because all the logistics went like clockwork, so smoothly and seamlessly in the background that we were able to focus on our walk and prayers! Our luggage was picked up from our hotels every day and delivered to the next without a hitch. The hotels selected and booked by Paul were excellent! We just arrived and were given our rooms immediately! Hassle free, beautiful walk, wonderful accommodations, enjoyable time with friends, excellent food, a truly blessed trip, thanks to Paul from Walks in Spain! Good job, Paul!

    Best company for the Camino
    The only company you would need. Everything is thought of, tailor made itinerary to suit how much walking you want to do each day, fantastic hotel choices and excellent route notes all make for a totally positive experience. Paul and Paul are very responsive and sort out any difficulties immediately. Have booked with them twice and recommend them to everyone thinking of doing the Camino.

    Marvelous
    A wonderful experience. I had already done a part of the French Way last year. I totally recommend the English part for people who want to enjoy walking with little influx of pilgrims, almost no one, and wonderful landscapes. If you want to walk with more people, I recommend French. We organized both of them with Tubuencamino and I honestly have no complaints. The first time I booked breakfast and dinner, it is honestly not worth it, it is full of quality services and there is no need to hire it. This time we went on our own with breakfast and dinner and it was great. I sincerely recommend it to everyone who wants to live a fascinating spiritual and physical work experience. I am sure I will repeat again.

    Beautiful central Portuguese Way with Tubuencamino
    I did the Camino de Santiago in May with my friends starting from Porto and in my opinion the experience improves day after day, the last 5 days are beautiful. We did the route with the Tubuencamino agency to ensure that our first time on this adventure was completely calm and we were absolutely right, we had a small problem along the way and they helped us super quickly. I would do it again, without a doubt.

    The English Way...
    After doing the French Way last year, this year I decided to do the English one! It is decidedly shorter, less frequented and with more 'human' stages, but on the other hand it is less well served, there are fewer things to see, fewer large cities to visit and discover and fewer refreshment points. What has remained the same is the charm and emotion that you experience throughout the journey. From start to finish!

    Great 7 days
    We had a great trip. This was the second time with Paul making the arrangements. It was wonderful. All details were handled without any problems. We were able to enjoy the walk and time with our friends. It is a bucket list trip.

    Fabulous organised trip by Walks in Spain
    Just returned from a 5 day walking holiday starting from Sarria to the end point of Santiago. An absolutely fabulous holiday despite the weather! The trip was organised by Walks in Spain and they arranged and organised everything apart from our flights. Cannot recommend Walks in Spain highly enough. They arranged airport transport, hotel taxis when necessary and transfer of our luggage each day. The hotels were well above our expectations with excellent breakfast choices to set us up for the day. Whilst some were off the Camino, thus was not an issue as transport had been pre-arranged. The trip notes provided for the daily walks were very concise and proved to be a very nice souvenir. An excellent trip made all the better by not having to worry about luggage and accommodation issues. Highly recommend Walks in Spain if you are interested in a self guided tour and want to use their knowledge of the route and places to stay.

    Sarria to Compostella De Santiago. 5 day self-guided walking with Walksinspain
    Just returned from a 7 night, (5 day walking) self-guided holiday from Sarria to Compostella De Santiago. After getting a few different quotes, we decided to go with Walksinspain. From the initial enquiry, to completing our holiday, I cannot fault the experience we received from this company. Paul certainly knows his Camino stuff. Our transfers, accommodation and meals were all pre-arranged and went without any hitch. The standard of accommodation was well beyond our expectations, ranging from hotels to a farmhouse to a beautiful renovated 17th Century country house. The breakfast and evening meals were fabulous and very well catered for our needs. We had daily notes provided of our daily walking route, distances, places to stop along the way and points of interest. Paul also booked us on a day trip to the coast once we were in Santiago de Compostella. We saw a lot of the beautiful coastline on various stops. The weather was unusually wet for June on a couple of our walking days, but regardless of this, we had a fantastic time. Galicia is a very beautiful unspoilt part of Spain. The Galician people were very kind and accommodating. I would definitely recommend Walksinspain for this type of trip.

    Fabulous Adventure!
    My husband and I used Walks in Spain to plan our Camino Frances. We couldn't be happier with them! The whole experience was wonderful. The places we stayed were so beautiful, the routes we walked were so gorgeous. We met great people in our group to walk with. Paul and Paul do a fabulous job. We highly recommend them. This was an adventure and experience we will never forget!

If you want to experience the Camino but aren't sure about doing the 'whole experience' eg staying in hostels then I would highly recommend Walks in Spain run by father & son (Paul snr & Paul jnr) I joined a small group tour but they will also put together self-guided walks & arrange the accommodation etc. The small group tour was excellent in every way. As the Pauls own the company & run it themselves, they are always on hand to make sure everything runs smoothly - in the tour case, they drive the minbuses. So you always get a personalised service. The accommodation provided was of excellent quality & loads of meals were also included. That's not tos ay that he walking isn't challenging at times. The Camino can be quite hilly in places but ity is so worth it for that last morning standing on the hill looking down over Santiago & then walking into the city itself. If you are holding back because of worries about fitness - don't! If you are on the small group tour, the Pauls are always happy to let you be driven in the minibus for all or part of the stage.
I enjoyed my time on the Camino with the Pauls so muchh that I have been recommending them to all my friends!!

I did the route with 5 friends, it is really spectacular, we did just over 200 kilometers in 10 days. Some days the demand is high, we spent 7 or 8 hours walking almost constantly and at a good pace.
There are several options, I recommend not traveling more than 20 km daily.

Paul from Walks in Spain arranged our Portugal coast Camino - it was simply amazing! Five of us walked together and Paul’s organisation of the self guided Camino was sensational. Best of all were the incredible hotel facilities and ambiance at the end of each day!

The path is very beautiful, especially if you look at the small details of nature, since many people are running and that way they cannot appreciate all that, on the other hand, there are also those with the sound system, instead of listening the birds or the silence. It teaches you that your body is more resistant than you think.
But what a deal, as they say before, everything is expensive, even the water, since on a route where so many pilgrims pass there are not even fountains. I only saw one 5 but since they don't indicate if it is drinkable I didn't dare take water from there. And Galician friendliness should be made to be seen, especially by the establishments that make a living from it. With some exceptions (very honorable since they are, or very kind or quite the opposite) it seems that they forgive your life.

Good experience, bad business when abused

What to say? The Path is many things: faith, effort, resilience, going all together sharing or "compartir" as they say here.
It's sun, clouds, heat, cold, wind, fog even all in the same day!
It is wonderful landscapes of fields alternating with forests of eucalyptus, oaks, firs, ferns, junipers alternating with stone houses and fields where cows or horses graze.
It is a place of cats that nap in the sun or lurk to catch mice or chat with pigeons. Of dogs that rarely bark. Of locals greeting you with “Buen Camino” and you feel like those words come from the heart. If you stop for a moment they ask you where you come from and tell you about them, their Italian friends, they ask you about yourself... hospitality ❤️
And in the meantime, step by step in this meeting and letting yourself be met, more and more tired and sore, you finally arrive in Santiago... and perhaps you are no longer so tired... and you just want to sit in the square in silence, banished from every restraint, you just want to cry and laugh at the same time, enormously grateful for the journey you have made.
To those who are on the street, come on, every step closer; I envy you a little to those who are about to leave.
Good Camino

I made it with my son unforgettable experience from tui, organized it on my own I wanted more road, just say that as soon as I can I am already doing another stretch, spectacular road took us time of rain and sun. It was spectacular to enter through Arco Norte with the piper playing it was a pass. It is spectacular by way of pilgrimage, by challenge of getting it, mentally isolates you from the world, you come out new, although physically a little tired, but eager to continue.

From planning to the day we arrived in Santiago Paul with Walks in Spain was helpful, accommodating, kind, knowledgeable, and so much more. It made the 115 km we walked an experience of a lifetime. The journey was amazing; friendships were formed, beauty of the country was held in awe, and even the rain did not dampen our spirits. I highly recommend walking the Camino de Santiago and using Walks in Spain.

Outstanding service provided by Walks in Spain Paul Sr + Paul Jr. Their knowledge + expertise of the areas impressed me as well as their relationships with lunch café owners. Lodging was comfortable, nice hot showers at the end of each portion of the Camino with a healthy breakfast in the morning before each day's adventures. My favorite hotels were the Paradors. Their itinerary includes a variety of terrains from coastal to mountains (spiritual walk of water and stones.) Mercedes Van transportation to +from the Camino trails with interesting and funny tales to make you smile. The Cathedral de Santiago experience is the icing on the cake. If you are vacillating on whether or not to take the Camino plunge, Walks in Spain are the providers/guides to make your goal a reality! You will be well taken care of!!! Buen Camino

I’ve recently returned from a Best of Camino Frances Small Group tour with Walks in Spain with Paul. Working with this small father/son owned company, from my first day email requesting information to our final Farewell Dinner, has been one of my best travel experiences. Paul Sr. and Paul Jr. provided such attention to detail in arranging lovely accommodations, delicious regional meals, transporting of bags, easy to follow maps and directions. They gave the perfect amount of guidance and independence to our group. My friend and I have come home with new friends and we are all sharing photos of our week together. You will not regret contacting Walks in Spain with Paul and choosing this company for your Camino. I’m ready to sign up with them for another Camino route.

This service does NOT transport your bags from Sarria to Santiago. He gets them to Palas de Rei, and then contracts with someone else who takes them from that point. Beyond that, he’s not responsible, he says. So imagine our disappointment when we arrived to Santiago to find that our bags weren’t at our accommodation, but were at some bar, the address of which he didn’t send us. We were unable to locate a bar by the name he provided so tried a pension with that name. We arrived at the address we found on Google and then was nothing there. By this time, we were frantic and reached out again. Finally he sent an address. Then we had the great pleasure of walking uphill for 15 minutes, climbing dozens of stairs with our luggage in tow. We asked them to send a cab for our bags; they refused and said they were “sorry”. The good job they had done up to that point was completely undone by their failure to coordinate their delivery with our host. Camilo assured me over and over again prior to our arrival that everything would be “fine”. In the end, it wasn’t.
