3. ACCOMMODATION
The camino does not need to be experienced as the pilgrims did, in basic lodgings. On this tour, you will stay in hotels (at least 3 star) and where possible, historical buildings along the camino that have been refurbished and converted into state run hotels, called paradors. The full experience of the camino is enhanced when you can feel the ambience of such historical sites.
4. Gourmet tour with wine pairings
This tour will feature dinners at local restaurants featuring cuisine from the specific region. As we will be traversing across many different provinces, the food and wines will be varied according to the local specialties. We will try to conduct wine appreciation and pairings throughout the journey, so that you will learn about the gastronomy that areas have to offer.
5. Guide
Singapore guide – Ms Su Lin
Su Lin is happiest when she is outdoors. An avid traveler, she has spent most of her life exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations and discovering the wonders of nature. As an adventurer at heart, Su Lin loves to explore local food, interact with locals in cities, hike beautiful trails, and camp in remote natural settings.
Her extensive experience includes working with diverse groups such as families, students, corporate teams, and special needs individuals. In 2023, she served as the coach and tour manager for the YMCA Mt. Fuji Inclusive Challenge, where she successfully guided a group of 10 special needs youth to summit Mt. Fuji for the first time.
One of her most memorable experiences was walking the Camino de Santiago. She completed the 800km journey from France across Spain to Santiago de Compostela, a spiritual journey that tested her physical and mental strength. Along the way, she met people from all over the world and learned valuable life lessons. Su Lin treasures this experience and hopes to share its profound impact with others.
