Camino Vasco Interior

The Basque Inland Route

Bayonne, France, to Burgos, Spain

This off-the-track venture is primarily aimed at more or less seasoned pilgrims seeking a unique, relatively relaxed and uncrowded Camino. This trip offers up-close perspectives and engagement with the Basque community, whose ancient and beautiful heartland we will be traversing.

We begin in France, in the medieval yet modern cathedral city of Bayonne and its lovely nearby beach-and-border town, Hendaye. The walk takes us from the Spanish border through the foothills of the Atlantic Pyrenees to the Basque country’s capital, Vitoria-Gasteiz, and onward through the wine lands of La Rioja to our final destination: the magnificent old city of Burgos, at the junction with the Camino Francés leading onward to Santiago de Compostela.

May and September departures, 11 to 14 nights
