2027 Holy Year Specials

Walk the Camino in a Holy Year

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.

Ferrol to Santiago

Sailors’ Camino Through Galicia’s Soul

It is quieter than other routes so for those trying to get away from the more popular French Way, the Camino Ingles presents a great alternative to get from Ferrol to Santiago de Compostela (or A Coruna to Santiago) and receive your pilgrim certificate within a week.
