The Camino de Santiago with SDJ
Embark on the Journey of a Lifetime and join us for the legendary Camino de Santiago, a sacred pilgrimage that has inspired countless souls for over a thousand years.
Section 1 Camino (Sarria to Santiago)
Tentative Dates: September 5 – 12, 2026
Sarria to Santiago is 111 km. We will walk approximately 20 km (12 miles) each day.
Many of the pilgrims who, today, make the Camino de Santiago do not attribute a religious, but spiritual meaning, to it. The Camino de Santiago is understood as an inner journey, an experience that delves into oneself, in a search for balance and well-being. Many people decide to do the Camino de Santiago in an effort to find themselves or connect with humanity and Mother Nature.
On all the routes of the Camino de Santiago, it is possible to enjoy constructions of great artistic value and enormous beauty. Spending several days on the Camino de Santiago allows you to enjoy various artistic currents (Gothic, Renaissance, Mudejar, etc.).
Visiting the city of Santiago de Compostela is undoubtedly one of the greatest motivations for pilgrims who are interested in the culture and tradition of the Camino de Santiago. The architectural richness of the Cathedral of Compostela, as well as its long construction history make it an authentic jewel of architecture.
This is the beautiful thing about the Camino de Santiago, that each one of us can give it its own meaning. Live a unique and personal experience.
Section 2 Camino (Santiago to Finisterre)
Tentative Dates: September 13 – 19, 2026
Santiago to Finisterre is 90 km. We will walk approximately 18 km (11 miles) each day
Located in the western–most part of Spain is Cape Finisterre.
Overlooking the rough waters of the Atlantic, it is easy to see why this was once considered the end of the world.
The Camino Finisterre is the ultimate way to experience this feeling of a total end to your pilgrimage experience.
Pilgrims of the past have been known to throw their shoes into the sea here to symbolize their new beginning after finishing the Camino.
This part of the Camino passes remote, hilly villages and finishes at the steep cliffs of Spain’s western-most point.
Beautiful scenery and shared stories of amazing legends and history will compliment your walk. We’ll walk 90 k in 5 days.
