Caminoways.com, a travel company organising trips to the Camino de Santiago, announced today that there is an unprecedented demand for travel on the Camino de Santiago in 2021 which is a Holy Year or Ano Xacobeo.
2021 happens to be a Holy year meaning that during this year, St. James’s Day, July 25th falls on a Sunday. There are a lot of events planned for pilgrims throughout the year to celebrate with a huge celebration planned for the Feast of St. James.
“The Camino is a lifetime goal for a lot of people and doing it is on many bucket lists around the world. Fulfilling a lifelong goal to do the Camino de Santiago during the Holy year 2021 makes it extra special and one to remember,” says Roland Monsegu, founder and director.
If you are looking to do the Camino by yourself on a self-guided holiday, the advice is to book early as places will fill up for next year very quickly.
The team at Caminoways.com suggest a number of alternative routes to choose from which might be a little less busy and they are including a free welcome drink to help you celebrate the Holy Year for all bookings confirmed by May 31st:
