The Camino de Santiago is becoming an increasingly popular pilgrimage for Polish travelers seeking both spiritual and cultural enrichment. To ensure a smooth and well-organized journey, LivingTheCamino.com offers the best logistics and support for groups coming from Poland.
Best Time to Go: April to October, with May, June, and September being the most pleasant months due to mild weather and fewer crowds.
Flights & Transfers: The best way to reach the Camino is by flying from Warsaw, Kraków, or Wrocław to Madrid, Porto, or Santiago de Compostela. From there, private or shared transfers can be arranged directly to the starting point.
Packing Essentials: Weather-appropriate clothing, sturdy walking shoes, rain gear, water bottle, and a comfortable backpack. A walking stick and blister care kit are also useful.
Daily Walking Distances: Average of 20–25 km per day. We recommend training walks of increasing distance several weeks before the trip.
Credential & Compostela: Pilgrims must stamp their credential at least twice per day. Upon completing 100 km (on foot) or 200 km (by bike), they can receive the Compostela certificate in Santiago.
Money & Payments: Credit cards are widely accepted, but it’s useful to carry some cash in euros for smaller towns or rural areas.
Language Tips: While English and Spanish are widely spoken, a few phrases in Spanish or Galician are appreciated. LivingTheCamino can provide Polish-speaking guides or translation support on request.
Camino Francés (Sarria – Santiago): The most popular route, ideal for first-timers. Beautiful countryside, charming villages, and great infrastructure.
Camino Portugués (Tui – Santiago): A quiet and scenic alternative, starting from the Spanish-Portuguese border. Rich in culture and gastronomy.
Camino Inglés (Ferrol – Santiago): A shorter route perfect for those with limited time. Maritime landscapes and Celtic heritage.
Custom Routes: From the Camino Francés to the Camino Portugués, tailored to each group’s needs, preferences, and walking level.
Comfortable Accommodation: Carefully selected hotels, guesthouses and albergues with private rooms and local meals to ensure a great rest after each stage.
Expert Guidance: Knowledgeable local guides and Polish-speaking support available to enhance your journey with historical and cultural context.
24/7 Assistance: Our support team is always available in case of emergencies or changes in your itinerary.
