Camino Travel Agency Revamps 2027 Camino de Santiago Tour, Expands Hotel Stays

Camino Travel Agency, a company specializing in tours along the Camino de Santiago, announced that it has revamped the accommodations for its 42-day, 800-kilometer Camino de Santiago tour in 2027 and will offer early-bird discounts to customers who book in advance.

The revamp focuses on improving accommodations and ensuring participants have time to rest, taking into account the demands of long-distance walking trips. The updated tour will apply to departures starting in April 2027.

The biggest change is an increase in the number of hotel nights. The tour will include 15 hotel nights, up 50% from 10, alongside 24 nights in albergues, combining traditional pilgrim accommodations with hotels.

In particular, the itinerary includes two hotel nights in each of the major cities of Logrono, Burgos, Leon, and Santiago. Hotel stays will also be provided in Pamplona, Estella, Villafranca, Sarria, Portomarin, and Santo Domingo de la Calzada.

The French Way, a signature route of the Camino de Santiago, is a long-distance walking journey of about 800 kilometers from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

Camino Travel Agency said it designed the tour to help participants manage their stamina and experience local culture through multi-night stays in major cities, as accommodation and rest are important during a walking itinerary that lasts for several weeks.

The company is also offering an early-booking discount alongside the tour revamp. The regular price for the 42-day, 800-kilometer tour in 2027 is KRW 5.77 million, while early-bird customers can book it for KRW 5.67 million, a discount of KRW 100,000.

With local accommodation shortages and rising prices during peak season continuing, the package is expected to reduce participants' fatigue and the burden of completing the route by securing accommodations in key hub cities in advance and seamlessly combining the walking journey with local cultural tourism.

A representative of Camino Travel Agency said, "The Camino de Santiago involves walking for an extended period, so sufficient rest and stable accommodation are important. In revamping this tour, we focused on enhancing the accommodation arrangements so that pilgrims can concentrate on the journey itself in more comfortable surroundings."

The representative added, "We will continue to consider customers' diverse feedback and travel conditions, improve our Camino tours, and work to provide a highly satisfying travel experience."
