El Buen Camino
Madrid / Sarria / Brea / Portomarin / Eirexe / Casanova / Furelos / Melide / Ribadiso de Baixo to O Pedrouzo / O Pedrouzo to Monte do Gozo / Santiago de Compostela

 

Day One:
  • Our pilgrimage begins with an overnight flight to Madrid, Spain.
Day Two:
  • Welcome to Madrid, the capital and largest city in Spain! Although we will find Madrid a modern city, we can’t help but be captivated by its rich history, art, and spirit. After arriving, we will meet our Faith Journeys representative and visit the Prado Museum which hosts one of the finest art collections in the world including important Spanish and Flemish paintings, classical statues purchased from Italy, medieval religious treasures and even some Romanesque frescoes. We will also explore Buen Retiro Park, founded in 1631, and the immense Royal Palace of Madrid. We’ll enjoy dinner and overnight in our hotel in Madrid
Day Three
  • We’ll travel by modern motorcoach to Sarria. We will take a panoramic tour of the city before visiting the Monastery of Samos, one of the most important Monasteries of Spain because of its influence on the history and culture of the region. In the middle ages, it was the wealthiest and most powerful monastery on the peninsula and educated the sons of nobility along with maintaining an important pilgrim’s hospice, a pharmacy, a forge, and many farms. It was severely damaged in a 1536 fire, rebuilt over 200 years, and then in 1951, a fire destroyed the library and monastery refectory. We enjoy dinner and retire to our hotel in Sarria for an overnight stay.
