The Camino VIP Walking includes accommodation in double rooms with a private bathroom, where you’ll share a room with one person from the group each night (maximum of two people per room).

If you’re traveling as a couple, with family, or with friends, you can choose who you want to share a room with. If you’re traveling solo, we will assign you a roommate of the same gender, who will be your room companion throughout the trip.

Remember, you’ll only share with one person from the group. If you prefer a single room, we can discuss the additional cost for this option.

The Camino is a very popular destination, so it’s possible that in some locations, a single room may not be available.

The support vehicle is reserved exclusively for our walking pilgrims. Therefore, it is not possible to bring a companion who is not participating in the experience.

You can offer your companion the option to join the experience, and they will be able to use our support vehicle if they need to rest or skip a section. We will take care of accompanying and guiding them, while you can enjoy the journey at your own pace.

Please note that this option is available in our Premium Camino versions (customized, by quotation). If you’d like to discuss a Premium Camino package, feel free to contact us at info@zococamino.com.

To participate in this route and achieve your goal of walking 110 km, it’s important to be in good physical shape.

You don’t need to be an advanced hiker; a minimum level of preparation is sufficient. It’s recommended to start training one or two months before your Camino to avoid fatigue or muscle soreness during the experience.

If you’re not used to walking, you can begin a training program, walking an hour daily during the week and two hours on weekends, maintaining an average pace of 4-5 km per hour. Consistency is more important than walking long distances in one day and then stopping. We also recommend using the same footwear you plan to bring on the Camino.

The most important preparation is mental. You must be aware that you will be stepping out of your comfort zone and experiencing a different culture. You will also be sharing the journey with people from all over the world.

We will start early each day and walk an average of 20 km. Meal times will be different from what you’re used to, and we’ll spend most of our time in rural settings. It’s possible that we’ll experience rain, cold, or walk on wet terrain. But there’s nothing an adventurous mindset can’t handle.

The basic program includes paths with easy elevation changes.

Each pilgrim is allowed to bring one suitcase or backpack with a maximum weight of 23 kg, which will be transported from hotel to hotel. (If you bring more luggage with you to Spain, you must leave it in storage in Madrid)

To get used to the way pilgrims travel, avoid carrying unnecessary luggage on the Camino. You do not need: jewelry, books, fancy clothes or shoes, an iron or hairdryer, towels, sleeping bags, umbrellas, or wallets.

Yes, you can enjoy this route with children from 10 years old who have walking experience. It is necessary for one of the parents or a family member to take care of them and not leave them alone at any time, even if they choose to rest in the support car.

You can travel privately with your group as long as there are 12 or more people. In this case, you will also enjoy a special 10% discount on the total value of the trip.

If your group is smaller, we will accept more pilgrims until the 12 spots are filled.

The group must adjust to our available dates for the Camino VIP Andando.

If you wish to experience the trip on your chosen dates or have a completely private journey with a partner or a group of fewer than 12 people, you can opt to quote for a Camino Andando Premium.

The VIP Camino, whether by bike or on foot, is a pre-designed experience that takes place in a group on the dates we have selected. The activities and itinerary are carried out without any modifications.

The Premium Camino is the option we offer to design a Camino tailored to your needs. If you wish to travel privately, as a couple, or with your own group, add or remove stages, adjust the number of days, include other activities, etc., the Premium Camino is customized. It is priced based on a quote, as the price varies depending on dates, number of days, stages, activities, and the number of people included.

For us, every season on the Camino de Santiago has its charm. The best time to do it depends more on your personality and travel preferences.

May and September offer pleasant weather and fewer tourists compared to the summer months.

Between March and April, Easter is celebrated with many religious representations, and we also get the first signs of spring.

From June to August, summer takes over, with warmer weather, although temperatures in Galicia are usually not as high as in the rest of Spain. There are more tourists, and the Camino has a livelier atmosphere.

October is the perfect month to experience a change of season and enjoy the colors of nature, the falling leaves, and the beautiful sunsets that autumn provides.
