Spain, 10 Days · Tailor-made by car

Jacobean Route, from Bilbao to Santiago

Discover the fascinating French Way

Whether for religious reasons, for the impressive historical and cultural heritage along the route, for the personal challenge involved... The Camino de Santiago or Jacobean Route must be done at least once in your lifetime. Declared the first European Cultural Route by the Council of Europe and a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, northern Spain has been welcoming pilgrims from all corners of the world for over a millennium now. Peppered with miracles, historical events and legends forged around the Camino, the ancient route began in the ninth century with the discovery of the tomb of St. James (Santiago), evangelist of Spain and one of the 12 apostles of Jesus. Since then, the French Way - the most famous, busiest and best-kept of them all - has been drawing in millions of travellers and pilgrims. No matter what time of year you decide to travel along it, from behind the wheel you'll be constantly surprised by beautiful landscapes dotted with picture-perfect contrasts; beautiful cities such as Pamplona, Burgos, Leon and Santiago de Compostela; villages with heaps of charm and deep-rooted tradition; religious treasures including magnificent cathedrals, monasteries and Romanesque churches built along the Camino; and World Heritage sites such as the Cathedral of Burgos or the Old Town of Santiago. And all along the route, we'll savour delicious cuisine, as each region has its culinary delights and a unique spirit to share with new friends. Because the Camino de Santiago is much more than a fascinating route through northern Spain. It's an emotional journey, a life-changing event and an experience - for many inexplicable - which everyone wants to repeat. Discover the Way.

Important remarks

- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.

- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.

- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
