Shared tours in Camino de Santiago
On the Camino with alone time and fellowship
Maybe you dream of walking the Camino? The Camino de Santiago is for most people with a desire to walk and experience something out of the ordinary. Many travel alone, and others go on the Camino together. Some walk 10-15 km. a day and others 20-30 km. or more.

Group tours. Max. 6 participants
Most people set out hard with the will to walk and long days of hiking, but it is also normal to have injuries and disabilities, which is why it is important to plan, observe and adjust the effort in relation to individual wishes and needs. What does your next trip look like?
It can be a challenge to walk all the way across Spain to Santiago in Galicia, and many choose a shorter trip. A great experience in itself - and perhaps the start of more journeys walking in the footsteps of the ancient pilgrims?
CAMINO MAP
Part of the pleasure of walking and staying on the Camino is the camaraderie with other pilgrims. There are travelers from most of the world and of all ages, and it is special to walk several days in a row with both silence and spontaneous conversations about big and small things. Overall, the Camino de Santiago is an opportunity to cultivate ourselves, each other and our dreams and goals in life.

- Get started well on the spectacular coastal route
The shared tours are for a maximum of 6 participants. You are responsible for your own airfare and travel (remember travel insurance). In addition, I will do my best to facilitate an experience of a lifetime. In addition to tour guide service, I offer yoga, relaxation and meditation, 30-60 min. daily. Or maybe you have enough of everything else that comes with it? Some cycle the Camino, and others stay at home.
Read more about the programmed joint trips along selected sections of the Camino de Santiago, or get in touch for a dialogue about tailor-made trips, where destination, travel time and other conditions are planned in collaboration. An opportunity for private individuals and companies. Of course, you are also welcome to just browse around and get inspired for your own trips.

The story tells of Saint James, who sailed to Spain and walked to Santiago de Compostela in the northwest corner of Spain to spread the message of God and Jesus. Later, his mortal remains were brought back to Santiago, where they are said to be buried under the imposing cathedral. Since then, countless people have walked to Santiago, and over time a large network of pilgrimage routes has been established in both Spain, France and several other European countries.
Inspiration & insight
Traditionally, most people walked for religious reasons, and in the Middle Ages, it was common for criminals to be sentenced to walk.. The Camino is steeped in history, and it is exciting to find your way as a modern pilgrim with a backpack and high skies.
With time alone and togetherness along the way
The classic route offers great views from the start in Saint Jean Pied de Port on the French side of the Pyrenees, before continuing through varied landscapes with a total of 775 km. to Santiago. The route leads through historic cities such as Pamplona, Logroño, Burgos and León and also offers a string of charming villages and a guarantee of pilgrim atmosphere. From April to October, and especially from May to September, there are typically many on the route, and it is a good idea to book accommodation in advance.

The Camino del Norte, starting at the French-Spanish border, is also popular with pilgrims and travelers from all over the world. The route stretches for 630 km. more or less along the Spanish north coast before heading inland at the entrance to Galicia with a total of 820 km. to Santiago. The first part of the route in the Basque Country is a challenge with steep hills, but from around Bilbao the route is more straightforward with flat stretches and gentle hills to Santander and so on.
The Camino del Norte is a beautiful experience with magnificent landscapes and wild beaches. Among many highlights, the route starts in San Sebastian, known for its gastronomy and Michelin restaurants. Overall, the Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia are packed with tapas and treats for every taste, and the route is far from overcrowded.

In addition to Camino Francés and Camino del Norte, the Portuguese route is also popular. More and more people are also choosing the spectacular Camino Primitivo and Via de la Plata from Seville. Other options are the Camino Mozárabe from Almería and the southeastern route, the Camino del Sureste from Alicante to Santiago. I have also heard good things about the "forgotten route" Camino Olvidado, and personally I can also recommend the Camino del Salvador from León to Oviedo and not least the beautiful route from Santiago to Finisterre, Muxía and "The End of the World" - named by the Romans, who believed it was the westernmost point in Europe and the world.

There are fewer accommodation options in winter, but you can walk the Camino de Santiago all year round. The number of pilgrims drops during October, and relatively few walk in winter. I myself was lucky with 15-17 degrees Celsius along the Camino del Norte in January a few years ago (photo above). Last year I experienced some rain in June, whereas October and November were beautiful weather, when I was on a longer journey along the Camino del Salvador, the Primitivo and the Camino Finisterre-Muxía - followed by a bus trip to Porto and a walk to Santiago. It is difficult to predict the weather, but I have never regretted a single one of my walks on the Camino.
- Here at the campsite with each our own bedroom
Many people travel in simple conditions and stay at an albergue, while others choose hotels and time for pampering. Albergue/hostel is the original form of accommodation with shared bedrooms and typically good ordinary conditions. There are both public and private albergues with different levels of comfort. People often eat together and share experiences and stories with other travelers.
- I recommend traveling light with only necessary equipment and a maximum of 10% of your body weight. I typically carry 6-12 kg. depending on season and my purpose for the trip. Also It´s a possible to have luggage transported for 4-6 euros until the next check-in.

The physical, mental and spiritual phase. Most people experience a first phase on the Camino, where we adapt practically and physically. The body gets used to the daily walk, and we find the rhythm as nomads for a while. After that, we talk about the mental phase with time for reflection; and finally a spiritual-creative phase, where the pieces fall into place and the journey makes sense.

There are typically good opportunities for café visits and shopping in supermarkets and other stores, and the Camino is accessible to most people, but you should be prepared that it may be a long way to the next small village with the possibility of refreshments. Some sections are quite hilly, and occasionally there are several variants of the routes - some more strenuous than others.
- A fantastic trip on the Camino. Lasse is a competent and knowledgeable guide, who also manages to make room for silence and let the impressions speak for themselves. Best recommendations, Lotte Maribo Ibsen
- My own first longer journey on the Camino de Santiago was in 2012 with a three-week walk on the classic route from Burgos to Santiago. I had seen "Bertelsen på Caminoen" and was looking forward to a break from my busy Copenhagen life with lots of work, multi-tasking and going at it. It was time to listen to my inner voice, and my trip became a landmark experience and the start of many journeys and stays on the Camino, in Morocco, Nepal and India with lots of walking and yoga.

Gradually I have walked 7,300 km. over 10 months. along the various pilgrimage routes. Sometimes I have been on short trips and other times on longer journeys. Always special with both alone time, togetherness and a wealth of enriching experiences. Join us for the spring -
