A Holy Year — or Año Santo Compostelano — only happens when July 25th, the Feast of St James, falls on a Sunday. There is no fixed pattern. It can be 5 years, 6 years, or 11 years between one and the next. In 2027, it happens. The Puerta Santa opens. And the Camino becomes something truly extraordinary.
The last Holy Year was 2021. The next won’t come until 2032. If walking the Camino has ever crossed your mind, 2027 is the year to stop thinking and start walking.

Ready to go? We’ve organised our 2027 Holy Year packages into two sections. First up, our full route packages — start from the beginning of your chosen Camino and walk the whole way to Santiago. Further down, you’ll find our last 100 km packages — the perfect option if time is short, but the Camino is calling.
Both qualify for your Compostela and the Holy Door.
Prefer to travel with a group and a guide? Explore our 2027 Guided Group Tours.
Holy Years fill up fast. 2027 will be one of the busiest years on the Camino in recent memory. Accommodation books out months ahead — and so do our packages. Book early to secure your dates.
