Saturday, June 10th, Day 1

• Fly from Dublin to Bilbao. Upon arrival, you are provided with a private transfer to Los Arcos.
• Relax in the plaza in front of the church of Santa Maria – make sure to visit the inside of this pretty church!

Sunday, June 11th, Day 2

• Walk 28km to Logroño.
• While this is a long walk, it isn’t that difficult. After passing through Sansol and the pretty village of Torres del Rio, you arrive at the historic town of Viana.
• Viana is a wonderful lunch-time stopping point; here lie the remains of Cesare Borgia around whom Machiavelli based the character of his Prince.
• Finish up in the Rioja capital of Logroño; don’t pass up the opportunity to explore the tapas scene based around Calle Laurel.

Monday, June 12th, Day 3

• Walk 29km to Nájera.
• Another similar day in that the terrain isn’t too difficult but you have many kms to walk!
• You have a long walk without services before you reach Navarrete; what looks like a nondescript town on approach makes for a pretty stopping point for lunch.
• Ventosa is another stopping point before Alto de San Antón – it’s downhill all the way then to Nájera.

Tuesday, June 13th, Day 4

• Walk 21km to Santo Domingo de la Calzada.

• A welcome shorter stage after the previous 2 days, today is all about the end point.

• Santo Domingo’s rooster story (not spilling the beans here!) is as quirky as you’ll find along the Camino – to this day a rooster is still kept at the back of the church here.

• We are going all up-market and staying night in the Parador while we’re at it!

Wednesday, June 14th, Day 5

• Walk 23km to Belorado.
• Today is probably the easiest day of the week; your walk is broken up by a string of little villages; Grañon, Recedilla, Castildelgado, Viloria de Rioje and Villamayor del Rio. Stop in them all and have a slow day!

Thursday, June 15th, Day 6

• Walk 28km to Agés.
• Today is a day of 2 halves; you have a gentle ascent up to Villafranca Montes de Oca takes in the villages of Tosantos, Villambistia and Espinosa.
• After Villafranca you have a peaceful day with no further stopping points but there is a good climb up to the Alto de la Pedreja before the descent through woodlands until you emerge at the picturesque and historic hamlet of San Juan de Ortega.
• From here, we have another 4km to go to the village of Agés from where we transfer to Burgos for our overnight.

Friday, June 16th, Day 7

• Walk 22km to Burgos.
• Another day of 2 halves in that the first part of the day is pleasant walking (with a steep climb after Atapuerca), but from Orbeneja onwards you know that you are entering a big city!
• For the adventurous soul, avoid the urban sprawl by going off-Camino and exploring the river route into Burgos.
• Burgos is dominated by its ornate cathedral and is the beginning of the unique Meseta plain.

Saturday, June 17th, Day 8

• Transfer to Bilbao for flight to Dublin.
