The Camino is about more than just arriving at a specific place; it's really about the journey along the way. The Spiritual Variant Tour gives you the opportunity to discover the enchantment of the Camino, a nurturing community with our all-inclusive package. Here are the reasons why this tour is the ideal option for experiencing the Camino.

A Scenic and Soulful Route

Starting from the charming town of Tui, on the Portuguese border, this tour follows the final 100 kilometres of the Portuguese Camino. Walking through picturesque countryside, quaint villages, and lush forests, you will experience the beauty and tranquillity that makes the Camino so unique. Every step is a chance to slow down, reflect, and be present in the moment.

Luxury accommodations, delicious meals, and luggage transfers allow you to focus on the experience without worrying about logistics.

A Unique Experience on the Water

One of the most special aspects of this tour is the opportunity to experience part of the Camino by boat. This peaceful river journey follows the historic Traslatio route, retracing the legendary arrival of St James’ remains in Galicia. Drifting along the Ría de Arousa and up the Ulla River, you will pass 17 stone crosses that mark the Apostle’s final journey. According to tradition, St James’ body arrived in Iria Flavia, near modern-day Padrón, where the Spiritual Variant of the Portuguese Way rejoins the main route. This serene voyage offers a rare moment for reflection while immersing you in the Camino’s rich spiritual heritage.

The Transformative Power of the Camino

Whether seeking clarity, healing, or a new perspective, this journey provides the time and space to reconnect with what truly matters.

Physical and Mental Rejuvenation

Walking the Camino is both a physical challenge and a meditative practice. The daily walks help clear the mind, reduce stress, and improve well-being. Moving through nature, breathing fresh air, and disconnecting from modern distractions can be deeply restorative.

A Journey of Faith and Spiritual Growth
