Petrabax expands Camino de Santiago Travel Programs for 2025

Petrabax, a leader in culturally immersive travel to Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, is proud to announce an enhanced collection of Camino de Santiago experiences for the 2025 season. Building on decades of expertise and personal pilgrim experience, Petrabax’s new Camino offerings allow travelers to walk one of the world’s most iconic routes with complete peace of mind — combining tradition with modern comfort.

"Having personally walked the Camino, I understand both the beauty and challenges of this journey," said Marcos Roel, Director of Petrabax. “We’ve designed our programs so that travelers can fully embrace the spirit of the Camino without worrying about logistics — from accommodations to luggage transfers, we handle everything.”

A Journey Rooted in History and Transformation
Originating in the 9th century with the discovery of Saint James the Great's tomb, Santiago de Compostela quickly became one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in the world.

Today, thousands of travelers embark on the Camino each year — not only for religious reasons, but also for spiritual retreat, adventure, and personal growth. As the historic saying goes, "All the Caminos lead to Santiago," symbolizing that no matter where the journey begins, it leads to fulfillment and transformation.

More Ways Than Ever to Experience the Camino
Petrabax’s 2025 offerings feature a variety of routes and formats tailored to every type of traveler:

Camino Francés (French Way) – ~780 km, the most iconic route, moderate to challenging.

Camino Portugués (Portuguese Way) – ~620 km from Lisbon / ~260 km from Porto, moderate difficulty.

Camino del Norte (Northern Way) – ~830 km, offering spectacular coastal scenery, challenging terrain.

Camino Primitivo (Original Way) – ~320 km from Oviedo, the oldest and one of the most demanding routes.

Camino Inglés (English Way) – ~120 km, ideal for a shorter pilgrimage.

Via de la Plata (Silver Way) – ~1,000 km from Seville, the longest and one of the most challenging Caminos.

Travelers can walk independently, join organized groups, or customize their journey based on pace and comfort level — including the popular "Last 100 km" option to qualify for the Compostela Certificate.

Comfort and Care Along the Way
Recognizing that each pilgrim’s journey is personal, Petrabax offers multiple accommodation options:
Albergues (traditional pilgrim hostels) for communal, budget-friendly stays.
Hotels and Guesthouses for those seeking more privacy and comfort.
Luxury stays in historic Paradores and Casas Rurales, including highlights like the
Parador de Santiago and Parador de León.

Every journey includes daily luggage transfers, personalized maps, emergency support, and options to modify daily walking distances by arranging local transfers or adding rest days — ensuring flexibility for travelers of all fitness levels.

Upon arrival in Santiago, pilgrims can attend the Pilgrims' Mass at the Cathedral, savor local Galician cuisine such as pulpo a feira (octopus) and tarta de Santiago, and celebrate a once-in-a-lifetime achievement.
