About this adventure
More about needing a push
Walking a Camino can seem daunting from a distance, and we understand that perfectly! On a Camino, you'll encounter yourself. Are you nervous about tackling this alone? Then we say, go for it! You'll discover that your fear was completely unfounded.
Learn to trust yourself, make your own choices. You'll become your own best friend. On the Camino del Norte, you'll explore your own limits, both physically and mentally. How do you make choices for yourself? What happens when you take on a completely different role? What baggage have you been carrying around with you all your life?
During the first week, you'll set an intention for your journey. We'll have a daily phone call to discuss what's on your mind. This involves both the journey outward and inward. You'll be given questions that will help you navigate the rest of your Camino, no matter how long your journey lasts.

This is why you want to walk this route
This journey takes place in the Basque Country, also known as the New Zealand of Spain.
You walk with the bright blue ocean on your right hand over hills and mountains greener than green!
The Camino del Norte is the tougher brother of the Camino Francés. If you enjoy a physical challenge and prefer to walk in peace, this is the path for you! In the mountains along the rugged coast, you'll discover new sides of yourself. There's more to discover than you think! For example, you can walk from San Sebastian to Bilbao, or from Bilbao to Santander, or even stages between Basque villages.
The benefits
- You're only on the road for a week but it's life changing
- You will pass through nice cities with Spain's best cuisine
- Lots of variety in nature; sea and forest alternate
from basic dormitories to luxury accommodations
This journey will gradually introduce you to pilgrim life. You'll spend one night in your own room with breakfast, and the next night in a dormitory among other pilgrims. This way, you'll discover what suits you best and experience the ins and outs of the Camino firsthand, ready to take on your next steps (if any).

What our customers say
“I now have a much clearer idea of what is important to me and how I act accordingly.”
I struggle to put into words what Gepke has done for me these past few months. Her posts inspired me to get in touch because I "really wanted to walk that Camino." I've been working hard on personal development, and this seemed like a great next step. During the intake, she quickly pinpointed the sore spot with helpful questions and observations. During my Camino, I had to deviate from her initial plan, and she helped me tremendously with that as well. She's very flexible and always willing to think along. She was truly there for me when I needed her, which was incredibly valuable. She also let me experience a lot for myself and was always there when needed. The impact of the Camino is unimaginable. I truly feel like a different person. I now have much more clarity about what's important to me and how I can act accordingly. I have regained peace of mind and body and can separate my ego from my heart. I wish everyone had such an experience and wholeheartedly recommend Gepke!
