More About this Journey
This 70-mile walk is at a snail’s pace and is with the support of a private van, loaded with healthy snacks when you want it, giving you time to soak in this ancient and compelling landscape dotted with quiet, charming villages, forests and coastal views, and the ease of carrying a light daypack. A Sabbath rest day is planned, giving your body and spirit a chance to receive, integrate and consolidate your experiences. As an added bonus, upon reaching Finisterra, you can receive the Fisterrana, a certificate of completion of this epic pilgrimage. Lodgings are beautifully restored farmhouse inns with exceptional regional delicious Spanish cuisine and local wine. All rooms have private baths. The smaller country inns have the serenity of no phones or TV in the rooms. Explore Courage & Renewal® reflective practices, including daily gathering for poetry, song, sharing, and mutual discovery to deepen your experience. Savor quiet self-reflection, dialogue, and journaling, using the pilgrimage road as metaphor.
