Description:
This iconic hike is a transformational experience. People travel from all over the world to walk the 500 mile pilgrimage across northern Spain. Although the trail does not require previous hiking experience, you can expect to be challenged on a physical and emotional level. We will plan for 33 days of hiking and 4 days of interspersed rest.
This special offering is designed for the person who has been holding the dream of hiking the Camino. It is your time! You do not need to come with a friend, and in fact, it will likely be a richer experience if you don’t. Your life will not be the same because you will not be the same :)
Shawn will be hiking the pilgrimage with you, supporting you the entire way. You will have the room to hike at our own pace and socialize with whomever you meet. It will be your experience.
Our journey will begin 3 months before departure as I coach participants every 2 weeks, by zoom, on the physical and spiritual preparation needed to live the full experience.
The travel fee includes:
1. Preparatory coaching
2. Suggested packing list
3. Train from Barcelona to St Jean Pied de Port - the start point of the Camino
4. Hotel accommodations every night
5. Luggage transfer service each hiking day
6. 2 post Camino coaching calls to process the experience
What the fee does NOT include:
1. Meals and snacks, although our hotels will usually come with breakfast included. You will enjoy sharing dinner with people you meet. The Camino can be a very social experience.
2. Tickets to any attractions you wish to visit along the way (churches, museums, etc..)
3. Flight from Santiago to Barcelona or whatever means of transportation you will use for your return to Barcelona.
4. Roundtrip airfare to Spain.
Price: $11,200
