American Pilgrims on the Camino is offering our members a unique Spanish travel opportunity May 18-26, 2023, in Navarra, Spain.

This first-ever cultural journey, in coordination with Los Amigos del Camino de Santiago de Estella, will traverse the geographically diverse region of the medieval Basque Kingdom of Navarra and give participants the opportunity to intimately get to know the culture, gastronomy and wine, and varied terrain along the Camino Francés as well as portions of the Aragones and the Baztanes. Travelers will be accompanied by members of different Camino Associations of Navarra, which is home to some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Spain.

Registration costs $1,095 USD (double occupancy). A limited number of single rooms are available for $1,357 USD and can be booked during registration. You may register up to two travelers during registration.

We’ll base our group in Estella, located on the banks of the historic Ega River. Travelers will enjoy 8 nights’ accommodation at the Alda Estella Hostel/Hotel on Plaza de Santiago, Estella (click here for hostel website). Rooms are double occupancy (a limited number of single rooms are available with a supplement and can be booked during registration). Payment will be collected by American Pilgrims. If you have a roommate you can enter that person’s name during registration. If you do not have a roommate, a same-sex roommate will be assigned.

Each day following breakfast we’ll visit different towns, have a six-to-ten kilometer walk on varied sections of the Camino and enjoy visiting historic sites and sampling the famous Navarra regional cuisine and wines.
