Red Monkey Tours

The Camino of Santiago has been a potent pilgrimage route from pre-Christian times. The Camino is a living, breathing pathway. It will speak to you through the landscape, your inner journey, your dreams, and your sacred encounters along the way. Walking with intention brings a state of deep balance that attunes you with your body’s natural rhythms and innate wisdom. You will be enlivened by the magic and miracles of this holy route.

We will start from a town hailed as one of the most beautiful villages in France, and walk for 9 days in the magical, seldom traveled Basque countryside of Southern France and Spain.

What to expect in a typical walking day:

7:30 - 8:30am Breakfast is served at our lodging

8:30am A group huddle of prayer and intention setting as well as logistics and we begin walking
Mid-morning breaks happen as we find cafes, beautiful bridges or vistas

Mid-day picnic lunch is shared on the Camino from olive groves to rustic hermitages

Mid-afternoon breaks also happen spontaneously according to need and weather

4 - 5 pm we arrive in our lodgings at our own pace and get settled into rooms, shower and perhaps have a glass of wine or stroll around the new town

7 - 8pm Dinner is generally a gorgeous 3 course meal with ample wine where we’ll share our insights and observations from the day as well as meet other pilgrims and our hosts

After dinner is time for philosophy, singing, foot massages, reading, writing or just jumping into dreams!

You'll walk between 18 and the longest day is 26km daily. A taxi is available for afternoon pick-ups if desired.
