We encourage supporters to join together and walk the final 100 miles of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela to raise funds for CAFOD.
All the information you need to get started is in our comprehensive Camino information booklet. Please get in touch if you would prefer to have this booklet posted out to you.
Our next suggested date for the pilgrimage is Saturday 7 September. We can put you in touch with fellow pilgrims if you decide to start your walk on this date. If you decide to take part in the Camino, you will be responsible for planning your pilgrimage, but we are here support you with advice and information and we can organise your Pilgrim Passport.
The following websites can also be very useful:
- The Confraternity of St James exists to give help and advice to pilgrims
- American Pilgrims on the Camino has lots of great, practical advice on its FAQs page, including how to get to Piedrafita O Cebreiro
- CAFOD is not responsible for the information on these websites, so please check with us before booking any transport!
We hope that in this Year of Faith, you will be able to take part in the Camino for CAFOD and that we can welcome you to our group of pilgrims.
The ‘route of the stars’, named because it lies beneath the Milky Way, takes pilgrims along the beautiful and peaceful countryside across the north of Spain, ending at the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. The route has existed for over a thousand years and offers a physical, mental and spiritual challenge to those who take it on. By walking in community, we hope you will be able to share the journey and your reflections along the way.
