Day 1
Arrival in Santiago de Compostela and accommodation in Santiago.
First day is the travel day, arriving and adapting.
You can also arrive in Santiago a few days earlier and leave when it suits you, but in this case you will have to find accommodation yourself. It is important that you are in Santiago on the 4th of July (you will be given the exact address before arrival).
At the accommodation, you can already pack your traveller's bag (where there is only the essentials – you can get the list before the trip from us). You can send all the bigger and heavier things with us to Fisterra in advance.
NB! We highly recommend flying with carry-on baggage only! Believe, we need far fewer things in life to be comfortable than we think!
In Santiago, you will also meet us and we will give you all instructions you need here for the Camino. Also Marge (Ots) will be with you on the first day of the Camino, walking with you until you feel enough courage in yourself to continue on your own.
Days 2-5/6
Pilgrimage on the Camino (from Santiago de Compostela to Fisterra)
Everyone's goal to come to this journey is different and walking is suitable for everyone, because the journey from Santiago to Fisterra is about 90 km, so about 23 km is being walked per day. So, if you've heard Camino's calling before, but haven't been able to assess your stamina and readiness, then this journey will give you an idea of how much you're actually capable of! And believe, you can do more than you think! It is possible to walk at your own rhythm and alone, but you can also choose to walk with other pilgrims.
Along the way, you will spend the nights in pilgrims' lodges, albergues, where the price of a night is on average 15 euros and generally a simple breakfast is included. NB! You have to pay for the albergues yourself.
This pilgrimage is special because you can choose your own tempo for walking and you organize yourself your accommodation in albergues for the nights just as other pilgrims do. Don´t worry – you will get all the information from us how to do it. There is no need to rush anywhere, there is no deadline to arrive – LIFE IS AN ADVENTURE and what an awesome one!

The pilgrim goes on his way in search of something... with some kind of request or blurry vision, with some kind of pain... this "why" is different for everybody... Sometimes he goes just out of curiosity (like me) and because of an inner call, and then along the way things starts to happen... His journey begins with the decision to go, followed by the first step... Along the way, the right questions, signs, answers begin to appear to him....
Along the way, he may experience rain and wind, fear of death, pure rage and anger, extreme self-pity, deep sadness, he may lose his faith and strength sometimes, he may experience hopelessness, the desire to give up... yet he steps forward... through all this, or in spite of everything....At one point he stands in admiration, for he sees two butterflies in the sky dancing in front of him the most beautiful dance in the world...In another moment, he recognizes himself in the gaze of the other human that he meets.. the one who greets him is another pilgrim who knows, who understands, who is also on his personal journey... And they greet each other with respect.... Because they realize that the other is also on his way, a different one, yet so similar... And it's just a moment... That's going to pass, too... Oh, how could it be that this REAL BEING would last, even if this pilgrimage is over???
