Located less than one hour away from Barcelona by train or car is one of Spain’s most charming and relaxed seaside escapes, Sitges. Lovingly nicknamed in recent years as ‘The Saint Tropez of Spain’, Sitges is a sunny resort town of sea and style, with a population of less than 30,000 people and a history stretching further back than the Middle Ages.

The Way - Buen Camino!

5 weeks walking 800 KILOMETRES across the to of spain

When my friend Sylvie first told me about the Camino de Santiago, I didn’t think it was for me. This walk across Spain with so many people and no wilderness. The traditional pilgrim experience of crowded dorm rooms and sparse hostel living, well frankly, it just didn’t appeal. Over our many Sundays hiking and talking, her own desire grew in me and I realised the adventure and its challenges presented an incredible opportunity.

‘The French Way’ 800 kms across the top of Spain, 5 weeks walking an average of 25 kms each day. A challenge of both physical and mental stamina. Hiking over the Pyrenees, through Basque country, across the Meseta and into Galicia. Staying not in dorms but in boutique hotels, converted monasteries and farm stays. Exploring the rich culture and history of regional Spain, eating wonderful local produce and drinking delicious Spanish wine.
