About the retreat center

Instead of changing hotels every night, the group stays at Terranam, a 4-star rated retreat center, for the whole trip. It’s a walled complex of historic stone buildings in the countryside near Catoira, about 45 minutes southwest of Santiago and five minutes from the nearest town.

Every room has been renovated to high modern standards with a large en suite bathroom. You’ll also find a chapel, a pool, a deck with scenic views, indoor and outdoor common areas, laundry facilities, and massage services.

A typical walking day

  1. Breakfast at Terranam.
  2. Private bus leaves Terranam for that day’s starting point.
  3. Walk the day’s stage as a group, on your own, or with pilgrims you meet along the way.
  4. A hearty lunch at a reserved restaurant in the finishing town.
  5. The bus brings everyone back to Terranam to rest.
  6. Cocktails, wine, and dinner together at Terranam.

Preparing to walk

Every pilgrim needs to be able to walk 10–15 miles a day. The route is a mostly pleasant rural landscape, and you set your own pace.

  • Start a walking routine at home well before June.
  • Wear high-quality walking shoes that are already broken in.
  • Carry a small backpack with water, snacks, and personal items.
  • Bring sunblock, sunglasses, and a hat.
  • Many pilgrims wear a scallop shell around their neck or on their backpack, the traditional sign of a Camino pilgrim.

If a walking day becomes too much

You can slow down and skip part of lunch, take a taxi back to Terranam, or call your group leader to see whether the support bus can pick you up along the route. You can also rest at Terranam for the day, though lunch that day would be on your own. Cell coverage is generally available along the Camino.

Questions and answers

Tap a question to see the answer.

How do I register?
There’s no paper form. Register online and follow the prompts. You’ll get an email confirming your registration the same day, and another once your payment clears or your check arrives. You can reserve your place with the $500 deposit or by paying in full.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellations must be made by email by the same person who registered. From your registration until March 31, 2027, $500 is non-refundable, but it can be transferred to someone who takes your place on this same trip. From April 1, 2027, the full tour price is non-refundable and non-transferable.
Do I need a passport?
Yes, everyone needs a passport, including children and infants. It must remain valid for more than six months after your return to the U.S. Email a scan or photo of your passport’s ID page to travel@myperegrinotour.com, or mail a copy to our PO Box. We share it with no one, and all copies are destroyed after the pilgrimage.
Do I need anything else to enter Spain?
U.S. citizens will need an ETIAS travel authorization, a new online pre-travel approval required by Spain and other Schengen countries (it is not a visa). Apply online through the official EU website before departure. Once approved it’s good for three years, as long as your passport stays valid. Non-U.S. citizens should confirm their own requirements for entering Spain and returning to the U.S.; Peregrino Tours can’t verify individual travel status.
I’m traveling alone. Do I have to pay for a single room?
You can either pay the $750 single supplement or ask to be paired with a roommate of the same sex, if one is available. Peregrino keeps track of solo travelers and coordinates pairings. If a roommate is available but you decline, the single supplement applies. If there’s an odd number of solo travelers, the most recent registrant pays the supplement. Friends who aren’t spouses or family and want to share a room should each email us to let us know.
Should I buy travel insurance?
We strongly recommend it, especially if you or a close family member has an unpredictable health condition. Insurance usually needs to be bought soon after you register; close to departure it may be unavailable or very expensive. Peregrino Tours doesn’t sell insurance, but our Trip Insurance page lists options past travelers have used.
Could the trip be cancelled?
It’s unlikely, but if Peregrino cancels the trip, you’ll be fully refunded. Events like airline strikes, weather, or international incidents won’t necessarily cancel the trip; travel insurance protects you in those cases.
Can I use airline miles or book my own flights?
We prefer that the group fly together, arriving and departing together. Close to departure, and if space allows, we may accept pilgrims traveling separately. Contact us for a ground-only price.
Can I upgrade my seat or sit with family and friends?
Pricing is based on economy seating. We can try to arrange economy plus, business, first class, or aisle seats; upgrades must be paid before they’re confirmed. We’ll try to seat friends and family together, but seat assignments are ultimately up to the airline.
What if I have special needs or dietary restrictions?
Please tell us when you register. Because this is a walking pilgrimage, every pilgrim must be able to walk 10–15 miles a day.
Who can come on this pilgrimage?
This is a Catholic-focused pilgrimage, and non-Catholics are welcome. Minors are welcome when traveling with family. To keep the experience positive and faith-filled for everyone, Peregrino reserves the right to decline any guest, before or during the trip, whose behavior is harmful to the group.
