Step out of the everyday…
… and into the magic of Camino de Santiago, one of the world’s most famous walking routes. Across 3 inspiring days, from the 8th – 12th of October 2027, you’ll walk through rolling green landscapes, traditional villages and picturesque woodlands, following in the footsteps of countless pilgrims who have travelled this route before you.
Connect, discover and explore on this historic journey, finishing at the Santiago de Compostela after a total of 67km of reflection, achievement and beauty. Each step you take will support families with a baby, child or young-person with a life-limited condition, or have been bereaved, across west London and Surrey.
