Join us on a soulful 126 km (78 mile) pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago, designed exclusively for women seeking connection, clarity, and camaraderie. Starting in the charming coastal town of Baiona, our path winds through the lush landscapes and historic villages of Vigo, Portugalete, Pontevedra, Caldas de Reis, and Padrón, culminating in the awe-inspiring arrival at Santiago de Compostela.
This journey is more than a walk — it’s a rite of passage, a chance to step away from the noise of everyday life and rediscover the rhythm of your own footsteps. Along the way, you’ll collect official Camino passport stamps, share stories and laughter with your Travel Besties, and be nourished by the deep beauty of Galicia’s rolling hills, eucalyptus-scented paths, and timeworn stone villages. Whether you're craving a deeper connection with yourself, the healing power of nature, or the joy of sisterhood, this sacred trek offers space for reflection, growth, and unforgettable memories. Let this be the journey that grounds you, lifts you, and inspires your next chapter. 🌿✨ |
Throughout this unforgettable walk, you can expect a beautifully balanced blend of physical challenge, cultural immersion, and soulful connection—all supported by the ease of thoughtful logistics. With a private English-speaking guide leading the way and luggage transfers between each hotel, your focus can stay on the journey itself. We'll begin with a welcome dinner to connect and set intentions before setting off along the coastal and forested paths. In Baiona, explore medieval streets and a seaside fortress; in Vigo, soak in the vibrant energy of Galicia’s largest city; in Portugalete, discover charming plazas and local traditions; in Pontevedra, wander the old town’s cobbled lanes and ancient churches. Caldas de Reis welcomes you with natural thermal springs, while Padrón, the land of poets and peppers, inspires with history and heart. And finally, reaching the magnificent Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, you’ll receive your certificate of completion, honoring your personal pilgrimage. Every step is steeped in tradition, beauty, and the shared spirit of sisterhood.
