Spanish Course and the Camino de Santiago

Camino de Santiago
We are delighted to invite you on a unique journey designed for those who wish to learn Spanish while immersing themselves in the history, culture, and magic of the legendary Camino de Santiago.

We’ve created a 14-day educational and experiential programme that combines meaningful learning with first-hand experience along the Camino:

  • Cultural Landing in León: Practical sessions to help you get started with Spanish and discover the key aspects of Spanish culture.
  • The Stories of the Camino: You will learn why this route has been, for more than a thousand years, the cultural heart of Europe.
  • Let’s Walk! Five days of real pilgrimage, feeling every kilometre until you reach the long-awaited goal: Santiago de Compostela.

Did you know that the Council of Europe named it the first European Cultural Route in 1987?

This route is much more than an ancient path. It’s a spiritual and cultural journey that has brought millions of people together throughout history. Walking the Camino is a chance to disconnect, reflect, and connect with a thousand-year-old tradition — a deeply human and communal experience that will leave you with everlasting memories.
