Begin your Pilgrimage from Leon to Sarria on this portion of the El Camino trail through Northern Spain. See the site of the 1505 Marian Apparition in the village of La Virgen del Camino (Our Lady of the Way). Continue through beautiful towns like Astorga, Foncebadón, Triacastela and more, all while feeling drawn closer to saints who have walked the same path before you. Moments of quiet, and moments of interactions with someone new, draw you closer to God. You will be removed from the routine of your everyday life, but will have great accommodations, meals and support. A van or small bus will also be driving parallel to the path you walk each day. Should you feel tired, need water, or medical assistance, it will be readily available to you at check point that are set up along the way. Tourists pass through places, places pass through Pilgrims. Be a pilgrim.
This is such a magnificent pilgrimage, that it is a subject of the 2010 movie directed by Emilio Estevez and starring his father Martin Sheen called 'The Way'. This is a very interesting movie that encompasses elements of the pilgrimage that 206 Tours offers - called: The Way of St James (El Camino) - highlighting Spain's spectacular Santiago de Compostela. The movie is based on a story of an American Father and Doctor (played by Martin Sheen) who decides to travel to Spain in order to walk the 'El Camino' in order to follow in the footsteps of his son (played by Emilo Estevez) who dies on this journey.
