Let your ears be instruments of peace.

May 30—June 8, 2027 · Porto, Portugal → Coastal Camino → Santiago de Compostela → Ourense (Jun 8–11)→ Porto
The Portuguese Coastal Camino is one of the gentlest and most beautiful routes on the entire network — flat ocean boardwalks, smooth dirt pathways, sandy beaches, and ancient cobblestone towns, with no steep mountain passes or rocky descents.
Daily walks range from 4.5 to 13 miles. You are never stuck: our private support vehicle shadows the group every day, ready to carry you ahead to the evening hotel whenever you need it.
2027 is a rare Holy Year — celebrated once in a decade. Expect free open-air concerts, light shows, and an atmosphere of deep, joyful festivity along the entire Way.

Each morning and evening we gather in the gardens of our hotels for group ACIM meditation and practice. The rhythm of walking — one step, one breath, one moment — becomes the perfect container for deepening the Course's teachings on forgiveness, inner peace, and the recognition of our shared holiness.
No prior experience with the Camino or A Course in Miracles is required. Come exactly as you are.
The Camino has been walked by millions of pilgrims seeking peace, meaning, and transformation. A Course in Miracles teaches that this peace is not found at the end of the road — it is found within, one step at a time.
Each morning and evening we gather in the garden of our hotel for group practice: a lesson, a meditation, a moment of stillness together before and after the day's walk. The physical journey and the inner journey become one.
No prior experience with the Course is required. The Camino itself is the classroom.
"I walk with God in perfect holiness. I light the world, I light my mind and all the minds which God created one with me."
A COURSE IN MIRACLES · WORKBOOK LESSON 163
Hidden deep inside the ancient forest canyons of the Ribeira Sacra, Ourense has drawn hermits and monks since the 10th century — precisely because its overwhelming natural beauty felt sacred.
We stay at the Parador de Santa Estevo, a vast monastery concealed within a dense forest, ringed by panoramic river lookouts and rising morning mist.
We will enjoy a Catamaran Cruise through vertical river gorges.
Hiking offers gentle walks or challenging trails.
Relax in either natural thermal springs or for those with sulfur sensitivities enjoy the outdoor hot tub at our hotel.
A full spa is available at our hotel. Additional spa treatments must be booked in advance and are not included in our package.
Premium accommodation every night, May 30 through the morning of June 14 — including stays at Spain's legendary historic Paradores.
Nourishing meals are taken care of each day. Lunches and beverages are on your own to explore local cafés along the Way.
Leave your bag at the hotel desk each morning. A private van delivers it to tonight's hotel. You walk with only a light daypack.
Our driver shadows the group every day. Step off the trail at any point and ride comfortably to the next hotel — whether that's after two miles or ten.
Group transfers to and from Porto Airport on May 30 and June 14 are included.
A catamaran journey through the dramatic vertical river gorges of the Ribeira Sacra — one of Spain's most awe-inspiring landscapes.
Morning and evening A Course in Miracles meditations led in the gardens of each hotel throughout the journey.
Ourense is renowned for its thermal springs. Note: the springs are sulfuric — for those with sulfur sensitivities, there is also an outdoor hot tub at our hotel. Massages and additional spa treatments are available separately — please book in advance.

Absolutely. The Coastal Route is famously gentle — flat boardwalks, smooth dirt, paved paths. There are no steep mountain passes. Our private vehicle is with the group every day, so you can stop walking at any moment.
No. This is a luggage-free pilgrimage. Your suitcase goes by van to the next hotel each morning. You walk with only a small daypack: water, rain jacket, sunscreen, and personal items.
In order to lock in a block of rooms and rates in luxury hotels for Holy Year 2027, the hotels require the deposit by July 31.
Primarily: well-broken-in walking shoes, a breathable rain jacket, and trekking poles (which take up to 25% of the strain off your knees and hips). A full packing list is sent closer to departure.
All 4-star or above, including Spain's famous Paradores — state-run luxury properties in historic castles, palaces, and monasteries. No communal bunk rooms.
Mandatory: Cancel for Any Reason + Medical Evacuation coverage. We recommend Allianz or Travelex. This is not included in the package price.
The Coastal Route is quieter than the famous Camino Francés, and our Ourense retreat takes us into an almost unknown corner of Spain. You'll experience all the festivity with very little of the crowds.
