Camino trí Ghaeilge

9 - 16 mí Lúnasa / August

Walk 115km of the Camino de Santiago from Sarria to Santiago on a unique Irish-language walking holiday with Jane.

Enjoy 7 nights B&B accommodation in hotels, daily luggage transfers and Pilgrim Passport included: all designed to make your Camino easy and enjoyable.

Speak Irish as you walk through the beautiful Galician countryside and experience the unforgettable moment of arriving in Santiago.

Highlights

  • Walk the final stage of the Camino Francés (115km) led by Jane and a professional tour manager
  • Relaxed Irish-language atmosphere: all levels welcome
  • Experience a rare solar eclipse on the 12th August
  • Stress-free walking with luggage transfer included
  • Finish in Santiago de Compostela and get a tour of the city from a local Irish-language tour guide on the final day


What level of Irish do I need?

There's a wide variety of language levels signed up from beginners to native speakers, everyone is welcome!


What age are the other walkers?

So far, those who have signed up range from their early 20s to late 60s, with a variety of Irish-language levels. Walkers must be aged 16 or over. Those aged 16–17 must travel with an adult and share a room with someone aged 18 or older.


What level of fitness do I need?

It's a good idea to train by going for a few long walks between now and then, but if you feel like you can't walk the full distance each day, it’s no problem as you can always get a taxi to the hotel or skip a days walking altogether. No harm in it. It’s your Camino, so no point in pushing yourself too hard or putting yourself under pressure to walk. It’s a holiday after all!


Will it be very hot?

The maximum temperature on this stage of the Camino in August is usually around 25-28⁰C with night-time temperatures of 13-18⁰C but we will start walking early every morning to avoid the 3pm heat.


What's included (€915)

  • Accommodation in hotels (3 nights in Lugo, 2 nights in Arzúa and 2 nights in Santiago)
  • Breakfast
  • Tour manager
  • Bus transfers everyday
  • 24/7 emergency support

A unique Camino: language, culture, friendship and a once-in-a-lifetime sky event.
