Europe Luxury Attractions & Landmarks Guide

The Camino de Santiago offers a timeless journey tailored for discerning travelers seeking luxury, adventure, and spiritual renewal. This renowned network of pilgrimage routes, dating back to the 9th century, spans 500 miles from Biarritz on the French coast to Santiago, Spain . 

Along this path adorned with the iconic yellow shell markers, luxury seekers can savor indulgent accommodations, gourmet dining experiences, and exclusive cultural encounters, making every step a remarkable blend of luxury and heritage.

How Long Have People Been Traveling the Camino de Santiago?

Historians believe people have been walking the Camino de Santiago pilgrim route for over 1,000 years. Santiago, or Saint James, was one of the original 12 Apostles who spread Christianity through the Iberian Peninsula.

It is said that upon his death, his body was laid in a boat, which ultimately landed on the coast of Spain. This spot was west of today's Santiago de Compostela. King Alfonso II ruled that Saint James' remains be buried in a unique chapel. This chapel became Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, the site that attracts pilgrims from across the world to walk this pilgrimage route each year.

During the Middle Ages, some 250,000 pilgrims made the journey annually. The route traveled today, the Camino Frances (the French Way), was founded by Father Elias Valina, a Galician priest from O Cebreiro, in the 1980s. He marked the Camino de Santiago with the yellow scallop shell symbol on a blue background, the iconic waymarker of the route.

What Countries Does the Camino Walk Pass Through?

Several different Camino de Santiago routes exist, including those starting in France , Spain , Portugal , Turkey, and Finland . Look for tour operators offering guided and self-guided Camino tours beginning in any of these countries and varying in length, depending on your preference and timeline.

How Many Camino de Santiago Routes Are There? 

The Camino de Santiago is not, in fact, just one path from point A to point B. It's a network of paths, all culminating in Santiago de Compostela. Most Camino de Santiago tour operators focus on 8 to 10 of the most popular ways to walk the path. 

Camino Frances: The Most Famous Camino Route

Camino Frances (French Way) starts in Roncesvalles and covers 775 kilometers before arriving in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia. This route has the most historical tradition and, to some, represents the most authentic pilgrim experience.

Along the way, you'll pass by Gothic and Roman monasteries and temples. This route is also the most well-marked, so whether you choose a self-guided or guided tour, you'll have adequate directions and maps. 

You won't be alone on the path anyway — more than 100,000 pilgrims and travelers walk this UNESCO World Heritage trail annually. It's a great way to meet like-minded travelers along the Camino de Santiago and give your tour a convivial ambiance.

Trails are marked in places with the iconic scallop shell, said to be an ancient connection to St. James. Beyond the trail, you'll see the Camino de Santiago scallop shell in countless souvenir forms, on backpacks, on hotels and hostels, and more. 

Other Less Popular Camino de Santiago Routes

The following are less traveled but chosen routes for the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage:

Camino Portuguese (The Portuguese Route): This well-marked, second-most popular Camino de Santiago walk has more historical attractions than any other route. 

Camino del Norte (The Northern Route): This route is excellent for those seeking an off-the-beaten-track Camino de Santiago experience. It is incredibly scenic and boasts cooler weather than many southern routes.

Camino Primitivo (The Primitive Route): This path, trod by pilgrims as far back as the 9th century, is more mountainous than other Camino routes and features Oviedo's Cathedral.

Camino Ingles (The English Route): Pilgrims arriving by sea took this Camino de Santiago path. It's the shortest of the famous Camino routes, uncrowded, and perfect for those who want a taste of the Camino de Santiago but need more time.

Via de la Plata: A flexible Camino route following an ancient Roman road and, depending on which route you take, the longest Camino in Spain 

The Madrid Route: If you'd like to walk a section of the Camino de Santiago that's less crowded, consider a guided tour of the Madrid Route. It's less known, and although it is gaining some traction with Camino walkers, it's still a sure bet for peace and quiet along serene footpaths and through historic towns like Segovia and Valladolid. 

Camino de Finisterre and Muxia

Would you like to change things up? Start at the end of the Camino de Santiago and walk to Finisterre, once believed to be the most western point on mainland Europe. This route is pretty wet year-round, but starting from Santiago de Compostela features ruggedly beautiful Galician countryside. It can also serve as an extension to the traditional Camino de Santiago routes.

Hiking the Camino de Santiago on a Luxury Tour

A luxury Camino de Santiago tour offers a refined approach to experiencing this historic pilgrimage route. While the traditional trail spans 500 miles, luxury travelers enjoy curated segments that blend hiking or cycling with opulent accommodations and gourmet dining. 

Albergues are the main accommodations along the route, which are usually bare bones with multiple people in a room who cook meals themselves or participate in a communal meal. 

Instead of albergues, luxury Camino de Santiago tours feature exclusive stays in boutique hotels and private lodges, ensuring unparalleled comfort and personalized service. Guided by knowledgeable hosts, these tours offer cultural immersion amidst the trail's spiritual ambiance, creating rich encounters with fellow travelers from diverse backgrounds.

Do I Walk the Camino de Santiago on a Luxury Tour?

A luxury Camino de Santiago tour offers a refined way to experience this iconic pilgrimage. Even if walking isn't your preference, you'll still be an authentic pilgrim!

Drive the Camino Route: Those seeking comfort and convenience can drive the pilgrim route. You can walk some of the Camino de Santiago and drive the rest, traversing the scenic route in style while still embracing the pilgrimage spirit. 

Cycling Tours: If you have over a week, cyclists can opt for exclusive biking tours , curated with luxurious accommodations and gourmet dining, from Leon to Santiago de Compostela. During the summer and early fall, the temperature remains pleasant for cycling from May to October. 

Most cyclists do not complete the entire Camino Frances (French Way). Instead, many start in Leon and continue to Santiago de Compostela for about a week, giving them enough mileage to earn the pilgrim's certificate.

Accommodations On a Luxury Camino de Santiago Tour

On a luxury Camino de Santiago tour, accommodations are meticulously curated to provide travelers unparalleled comfort and elegance after each day's journey. Instead of traditional albergues or pilgrim hostels, guests are treated to exquisite boutique hotels, historic manor houses, and charming luxury lodges along the route. 

These accommodations boast luxurious amenities such as plush bedding, spa facilities, gourmet dining options, and personalized service, ensuring a restful and rejuvenating experience for pilgrims. 

Whether nestled in the picturesque countryside or within bustling medieval towns, each accommodation offers a unique blend of modern luxury and authentic charm. This allows travelers to immerse themselves fully in the cultural heritage of the Camino while indulging in unparalleled comfort and sophistication.

Guided and self-guided Camino de Santiago luxury tours can also arrange your stay in paradors (historic buildings transformed into luxury accommodations) instead of fondas (rooms operated by a town's local cafe or pub), pensions (rooms in a family home), or hostels (family-run hotels).

Advantages of Guided Luxury Tours of Camino de Santiago

A luxury guided tour of the Camino de Santiago offers travelers many advantages, ensuring a seamless and enriching pilgrimage experience. Here are some compelling reasons why opting for a luxury trip is the ultimate way to traverse this historic route:

Personalized Itineraries: Luxury tours provide customized itineraries tailored to your preferences and interests, allowing you to explore the Camino at your own pace.

What to Pack for the Camino de Santiago

Prepare for the ultimate luxury adventure along the Camino de Santiago with these essential packing tips. While your tour operator will handle many details, packing the right items ensures you're comfortable and prepared for every moment of your journey:

Lightweight and breathable clothing: Opt for moisture-wicking fabrics that keep you cool and dry during long days of walking, with versatile layers to adapt to changing weather conditions.

Europe Tours

Private Luxury European Tours

The highlights of luxury European tours are fascinating architecture, art and heritage, wine and gastronomy. Anyone can go to Europe, but to get an insider view and authentic insights, you need a tailor-made itinerary from Enchanting Travels. Not only will our bespoke tours take you to Europe’s top cosmopolitan cities, we’ll include character-filled villages and towns, and picturesque landscapes. Our guide on  when to travel to Europe  can help you decide on the ideal time to visit depending on where you want to go.

Imposing castles and medieval cathedrals are an essential part of a UK and Ireland trip. Whether it’s the Cotswolds, County Kerry, or the Isle of Skye, the countryside exudes tremendous charm. London leads the pack in iconic world cities, while Dublin and Edinburgh are literary hubs; all display cutting-edge culture, art, museums, and theater. Chat with locals at a pub and sip on a local draught, but do also set aside time for another quintessential British indulgence—full afternoon tea at a posh hotel.

Across the English Channel, relive World War II history on the sands of Normandy’s beaches in France. Paris, the stylish city by the Seine, is always utterly captivating. In Bordeaux sip the world’s best wines and savor exquisite farm-to-table meals. Provence has the perfect ambience for learning to cook classic regional dishes, against the backdrop of swaying lavender fields. From there, turn to the sun-kissed French Riviera: a paradise with luxurious accommodations, chic bars, and romantic seaside cafés.

Just across the border is Italy’s Ligurian coast with famous Portofino and uber-quaint villages. In the heart of Italy, Tuscany has everything: fabulous Renaissance art and architecture in Florence, splendid wines in Chianti, olive groves and food to warm the soul. All this complements outstanding architectural gems in Italy’s biggest cities: Rome, Florence, Milan, and Venice.

Spain is hard to resist. Seville seduces you with its live flamenco dancing, and any visit to Barcelona must pay homage to Gaudi at Sagrada Familia Basilica. Madrid’s trio of must-see museums hold stunning art collections, while in Granada it’s the Moorish palace complex of Alhambra that dominates. Loosen your belt before you arrive in Spain for it is a true gourmet paradise. Squeeze in a trip north, to sample wines and regional cuisine at prestigious wineries in Rioja and San Sebastian.

Germany too produces fine white wines, but it’s more famous for terrific beers, with Munich the undisputed beer capital. Old and new architecture stands tall: grand Romanesque churches of Cologne; the glittering modern masterpiece, the Elbphilharmonie, in Hamburg; fairytale Neuschwanstein Castle, overlooking the scenic Bavarian countryside. Vibrant Berlin and traditional Frankfurt may call out to you, but let your itinerary also include picturesque towns like Nuremberg or lovely Baden-Baden, set on the edge of the pine-scented Black Forest.

Europe is a tough place to pin down. An extremely diverse continent, it has no end of secrets to explore – even if you’ve lived here your whole life. There’s ancient cities that laid the groundwork of civilisation, incredible natural wonders and some of the world’s best beach destinations. Heavyweight players like Greece and Spain are the oldest holiday destinations, attracting more than their fair share of superfans to their gorgeous beaches and charming towns and cities.

Then you’ve got the likes of Italy , a world leader in art and culture with some of the world’s finest cuisine – perfect city break material. Looking for something a little different? Up-and-comer Croatia is vying for the crown with its glorious un-spoilt beaches and photogenic terracotta towns.

Wherever you choose to stay, you won't be short of some incredible sights. Wander through the narrow streets of Rhodes Town, visit the archaeological sites in the ancient Peloponnese, explore Crete's natural gorges or photograph the fiery sunsets on Santorini.

I used to live in Spain, so I know there is much more to Andalucía than just the sunny Costa del Sol. You can really get the sense of the region by extending your beach holiday and hiring a car. We've put together an eight-day itinerary showcasing the best of the area, staying each night in a unique historical house known as a Parador. Anything from a former palace to an ancient convent or a medieval castle, these historic buildings offer great locations and plenty of charm alongside modern facilities and fabulous dining.

I’ve travelled all over Greece, but my favourite island has to be Skiathos – it’s just beautiful. If you’re undecided where to go, ask us about multi-centre or island-hopping holidays so you can explore more of Greece.
