Camino for Families
A Camino designed for families
The Camino de Santiago is for everyone — including children. That’s why we created the Camino for Families collection, based on our first-hand experience walking and cycling with kids as young as six. These holidays combine shorter daily stages, family-friendly hotels, luggage transfers, and 24/7 support so you can focus on what matters most: enjoying time together.
Whether walking or cycling, our family packages are designed for all ages and abilities. They balance adventure with comfort, offering a safe and unforgettable introduction to the Camino.

“The walk is an incredible experience and we all were moved by it. Very safe and well-marked, so much so that we were very comfortable letting the kids go ahead of us and we would just meet up with them at the end of the day. A trip we will never forget”
