Darrell, USA - May 2018

"If you ever want experience the Camino, CaminoWays is the partner you want. They organized our group of 12 perfectly. The accommodations exceeded our expectations, the food was top notch and the transportation arrangements were spot on! All of that combined to make our pilgrimage a stress free, enjoyable experience for everyone in our group which ranged in age from 17-75."

"This is my second Camino walk using Caminoway. This year it was part of the Norte route and, as before Caminoways provide everything you could want, from the detailed map to luggage labels, but most of all, the really wonderful hotels they booked for us on the way and for our final stop in Finisterre. Thank you"

"Amazing experience - Camino from San Sebastian to Bilbao. Booking through CaminoWays.com was easy. The walk wasn't guided but the maps and information received was enough for us to navigate our own way with no problems. The bags were picked up and delivered with no problems. Most of the hotel accommodation was great. The walk was challenging in parts but was also a fulfilling experience. The scenery was amazing and varied, and the food was SO good. I would definitely recommend this holiday to others."

"Camino Ways set up the whole biking trip, from Leon to Santiago, some 240 miles. We had great bicycles for our 4 cyclists (my brother, sister, wife and myself). We had great lodging each nite with comfortable beds in the best locations in each stay over town at 4 star hotels that Camino had picked for us in advance. In the morning Camino Ways would pick up our luggage and carry to the next town. The food was great at every stop as was the plentiful Rioja. This was a great cycling vacation that Camino Ways made possible. And the cost was very reasonable for such great service. We are planning another section of the Camino next year and will definitely go with Camino Ways."

Este viaje en bicicleta cubre la segunda mitad del Camino del Norte.

Comenzarás tu Camino en la ciudad costera de Gijón y seguirás la costa norte hacia Galicia. En tu camino, te alojarás en impresionantes pueblos y ciudades costeras, pasando por playas de arena fina y calas. Pedalearás por un exuberante paisaje. Al cruzar el puente sobre el río Eo, llegarás a Ribadeo, la primera ciudad de Galicia y donde se encuentra una de las playas más famosas de España: la playa de las catedrales.

Desde Ribadeo, el Camino del Norte se dirige hacia el interior. Irás en bicicleta por la tranquila ciudad de Mondoñedo, antigua capital del Reino de Galicia, donde podrás admirar sus grandes edificios y su catedral. Continuarás por bosques, caseríos pacíficos y caminos rurales. ¡No olvides solicitar tu certificado de Compostela cuando llegues a Santiago de Compostela!

* Recomendamos recorrer el Camino solo si tienes algo de experiencia en ciclismo y si tienes conocimientos esenciales de mantenimiento de bicicletas.
