The cost of accommodation is included. There is the option to have your luggage transferred from hotel to hotel.
All breakfasts and one meal (lunch or dinner) are included. Coffee breaks are not included due mainly to logistics. We understand that the group might not be walking at the same time, so the meals that happen during the walk time are out of the price.
On the arrival day, 9th May, we’ll share our “last” lunch together (which is also covered) before you can go back to your lives.
Learning Details
- A booklet containing the topics of discussion for each day, the vocabulary and some reflexion questions so you can prepare in advance and start every day predisposed.
To benefit both from the pilgrimage and the language, you will be invited to write – in Spanish – a daily entry in your travel journal. Your guides will correct your text (if you want) and give you feedback to improve your writing skills.
YOUR GUIDES & MENTORS
Maria Seco
I've been teaching Spanish in Ireland for years.
Now I live on the Camino de Santiago. I see pilgrims passing by all the time. This sparked my enthusiasm for the Camino, which is a life-changing experience. And I think that knowing at least some basic Spanish can enrich this experience. So I decided to combine my teaching experience with my interest in the Camino: I created Spanish for the Camino, in order to help pilgrims have a better experience by giving them the tools to communicate in Spanish.
Maria ortega
Teacher and Founder of a Spanish Language and Culture business where she creates engaging experiences for her clients to deepen their understanding of Spanish language and culture in ways that feel personal to them.
She lives in the centre of the Camino francés, in the city of Burgos and knows well the pilgrimage experience.
She believes the best way to learn a language is to experience it, and the best way to travel and to experience a country is to speak its language.
