Before our first Caminos we did what most people do. We searched Google, clicked through glossy tour pages, and tried to piece together a plan from blogs and forums. Most of the big travel sites were light on details, heavy on marketing language, and came with price tags that felt more like a luxury group tour than a simple walk.
So we started planning our own last 100 km routes from scratch. Stage by stage, town by town, we built clear daily plans with real distances, likely walking times, and towns that actually made sense. Over several Caminos we refined those plans, tested different routes, and learned what makes the final stretch to Santiago feel smooth instead of stressful.
After our last Camino in May 2025 we realised we kept having the same thought: there should be an easier way for English speaking walkers who want the Camino, but do not want to guess on every detail or pay for an all inclusive tour. That is why we launched Camino Plan for people like us who prefer a simple, specific plan they can book themselves.
