Talk the walk: Luxury Camino journey
Travelling the Camino is an exciting
journey and one that’s generating a
lot of interest among travellers looking
for an inspirational getaway; taking the
journey with Captain’s Choice allows
you to experience it with everything
considered and included – even the
luxury of a vehicle to whisk you
onwards at any point, so you can really
enjoy the experience at your own pace.
Following a path of ancient scallop
shells, where adventure and the divine
connect, you can walk the most magnificent
legs of the Camino Francés with
expert guides.
“Commencing in Saint Jean Pied de
Port, the historical starting point in
France, Captain Choice’s Crux of the
Camino 21-day journey gives you the
opportunity to trek more than 200
kilometres spread out over 11 walking
days. This qualifies us for the
Compostela, a certificate that attests
our effort,” says Karen Robinson from
Travel View.
By day, take full advantage of the astonishing
landscape by having a picnicstyle
lunch – with your toughest decision
being which meadow to enjoy it in.
Your taste buds will also be pampered
at Michelin-starred restaurants like
Frank Gehry’s Hotel Marqués De Riscal.
At night your weary limbs will gratefully
rest in luxury stays from paradors and
monasteries to fine hotels.
Also, the comfort of a courtesy
vehicle is at your disposal. At any point,
you may choose to stop walking. The
vehicle will chauffeur you directly to
your hotel, no questions asked. Trailing
the group closely, it also serves as a
mobile refreshment station, stocked
with nibbles, sandwiches and drinks.
(Even wine, if you are so inclined.)
“The Camino is a chameleon, displaying
different shades of beauty in each
season. It’s a must-do experience for
everyone,” says Karen.
She added a special three-day architectural,
cultural and culinary pre-tour
in San Sebastian was also available.
