Practical information about the trip
Customization
Every journey on our website should be viewed as a template that can be tailored and adjusted to suit your preferences. Consequently, no travel itinerary is set in stone. In principle, you have the flexibility to embark on your journey on any day of the year. Nonetheless, it’s worth noting that certain travel dates might be more optimal than others, especially when considering flight schedules, other modes of transport, and various logistical factors.
Price and Accommodation
The cost of the journey is calculated per person, based on shared occupancy in a double room. For those who value privacy, we offer the option of a single room at an additional fee, which varies depending on the itinerary. All rooms come with the guarantee of a private bathroom and toilet, unless a different arrangement is agreed upon.
Trips with and without Flights
Trips including flights: Should you wish your package to include air travel, please inform us accordingly, as well as your preferred departure airport (limited to airports within Europe). Spain is More can only arrange round-trip flights with the same airline. However, we will inform you if more convenient options are available with different airlines. At times, it may be more cost-effective to book separate airlines for your outbound and return flights. In such cases, Spain is More may include either the outbound or return flight, or may choose not to include any flights at all. We will provide you with advice and recommend the most advantageous option. All flight bookings are subject to the airline's terms and conditions, including policies regarding delays, cancellations, and baggage. Unless stated otherwise, each ticket includes one checked bag, with size and weight limits according to the airline's policies.
For trips without included flights, it is crucial to coordinate your arrival and departure schedules with Spain is More to ensure the availability of local transportation. If you opt to book your own air travel, we recommend waiting to make the purchase until you have received your trip confirmation from Spain is More.
Payments and Billing
- Initial Deposit: Required at the time of booking your trip.
- Final Payment: Typically due 30 days prior to departure.
Catering on the Camino
Breakfast is always included in the price listed on the website.
The time when breakfast is served varies for each accommodation.
If you wish to start walking or cycling earlier than when breakfast is served, some hotels offer the option to take along a sandwich or similar for breakfast later on the route. If so, you must inform the hotel the day before upon arrival.
The breakfast varies greatly from hotel to hotel. At some places, you will find it to be more basic, while at others, you may encounter an extravagant buffet.
We strive to collaborate with hotels that also prioritize a quality breakfast.
