Camino de Santiago 2026,

via Camino del Norte, the Northern Way

Dear Friends and Fellow Pilgrims,

What a pleasure it is again to announce my next walk along the Camino de Santiago in Spain, my 9th(!), and to invite those of you who would walk with me or who would like just to talk about it. We will begin in San Sebastian on April 13 and end in Santiago de Compostela on April 20.

Along the Camino del Norte

This year we will walk the Camino del Norte, which may be my favorite. Along the spectacular northern coast of Spain, our route along the Northern Way has some of the most dramatic scenery and includes some of the loveliest hotels and inns.

What began in the ninth century as a sacred pilgrimage has become for many a journey of personal fulfillment for people of all faiths or none. For more than a thousand years, pilgrims have made their way across the plains and mountains of Western Europe to reach Spain’s northwestern province of Galicia and the great Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela with its shrine to the apostle James.

Today the Way is also about finding and embracing your own way in life. Whether you seek spiritual rejuvenation, healing from heartbreak, graceful life transition, or insight into your life’s purpose, you will enjoy conversation, contemplation, art, culture, and companionship with a small and supportive group of like-minded travelers.

You will also have a gorgeous walk across Spain, visit charming towns and villages, have good food and wine, and discover anew what fills your soul and beckons your spirit. It is said that the Camino gives you what you need.
