The most popular and popular route of the Camino de Santiago, the French Way. This route departs from Logroño.
This road allows you to get to know the most authentic face of rural Spain, its landscapes and cities such as Logroño, Burgos, León, Ponferrada ... until you reach the final destination, which is none other than Santiago de Compostela.
This trip gives you the chance to meet other pilgrims, to enjoy the magnificent and varied gastronomy of northern Spain, disregarding your bags and other logistical issues, which we take care of.
