Easy Camino Frances from Sarria, low daily kilometres

If you are hoping to experience the Camino de Santiago at your own pace and aren’t sure if you can handle the daily distances of our other tours, then the Easy Camino Frances tour from Sarria to Santiago is the perfect trip for you. On this self-guided tour, you will be walking the last stretch of the famous Camino Frances from the market town of Sarria to Santiago de Compostela. You will walk across the lush green countryside in Galicia over 10 days, which means you will be covering a manageable average of 10km per day.

If this is your first time walking the Camino Frances (or any of the Camino routes) or if you have some difficulties with fitness or walking longer distances, this trip will be ideal. You can experience all the Camino de Santiago offers but completely at your own pace. There is no need to stress about walking over 20km per day if 10km is more your speed!

Walking the easy Camino Frances tour doesn’t deprive you of any of the joy and magic of the Camino. You will still meet fellow pilgrims, discover local traditions, and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the trail. We will organise all the luggage transfers and comfortable guest houses to welcome you after your day’s walk, so you have to put your walking shoes on and enjoy the journey.

You will start your Easy Camino in Sarria and walk 100 km, the required distance to receive your Compostela Pilgrim Certificate at the Pilgrims Office in Santiago. Remember to stamp your Pilgrim Passport while en route. With your ‘Compostela’ certificate, it is time to explore Santiago de Compostela‘s magnificent Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage city.

*You can add extra days to include rest days or additional nights in Santiago. Contact us for advice during your planning.
