Is the hotel in Madrid included in the price? If yes, are you able to give me a name of the hotel? We are two people but not a couple. Would it be possible to request two twin beds?

Is the second day in Madrid a free day or we must attend the COE orientation? How long is the orientation?

I am wondering if you could provide any support for the visa application process? Would you be able to provide any supporting letter with itinerary that we could show to the Spain embassy? If unfortunately our visa applications are not approved, would you fully refund any deposit or payments?

For the visa we are not able to apply for this on your behalf however we are able to help with any supporting documentation you may need from us for the visa application. Up to 30th day prior to departure: Your 20% non-refundable deposit is saved on your file as Lifetime Deposit towards a future tour. Tour Radar does provide insurance plans to help cover any non-refundable fees.

What type of plug adapter do I need for the accommodations?

Spain uses a Type F plug which has two circular prongs. Make sure to bring an adapter if your devices use a different type.

How far in advance should I arrive at the airport for domestic flights?

You should arrive at least 2 hours before your flight departure.

How many miles per day do we walk? Would we be arriving to 'overnight' towns in time to find Catholic Churches (to attend Mass)? Have 'hotels' been vetted for cleanliness? Am I able to book a single room? Do we carry our own luggage?

Be prepared to hike an average of 6 to 10 hrs per day, approx. 20-25 km per day, with some shorter and longer days along the way. Usually the hikes start in the morning so you would have time in town to relax or sightsee or visit churches! The hotels we use are standard (2 and 3 star). Our operational team and local office vet the hotels used. If you have booked the 'My Own Room' option, you will receive your own single accommodation for all night stops, with some exceptions. Single room accommodations in European hotels are often smaller, and may not be to the same service level as double-occupancy rooms.

How can I travel back to North Carolina from Santiago de Compostela? Are there direct flights or transfer services?

What are the insurance requirements for the tour?

Is there someone I can speak with? I am vegan, and want to ensure there will be food available that I can eat. Also, how many people are there per group? If I share a room, how do you pair people up? Is a tour guide with you throughout the walk? Do you handle suitcases so walkers do not have to carry them?

1) We do welcome vegans on our tours, but food options might be a bit more limited than those without dietary requirements. Snacks would be essential during your tour. 2) Our tours accommodate a maximum of 16 travellers but we usually book an average of 12 per departure. 3) You will be twin-sharing with someone of the same gender if you are a solo traveller and do not opt for a single supplement at an additional cost. 4) The CEO will be with you from day 1 until the end of your tour so you will be well taken care of. 5) A support vehicle is available on every day to carry your main luggage, you will need to have a day pack large enough to fit whatever you require for each day hiking. Please note that only one bag is permitted per traveller, which cannot exceed 20kg/45lbs.

What is the recommended amount of cash to bring for the tour?

We suggest bringing around 400 - 700 EUR to cover meals, activities, and tips throughout your tour.

Is US or Canadian currency accepted in Spain?

It is recommended to use Euros for all expenses while traveling, as it is not guaranteed that other currencies will be accepted.

Is there a need for travel insurance for this tour?

Yes, it is mandatory to have emergency medical travel insurance that covers the entire duration of your travels.

  The train to Sarria is included in the price, but what about the transportation to Madrid's train station?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2025
  Yes, the first night in Madrid is included in the tour price. Accommodation is based on twin-share rooms, so you'll each have your own bed. We can also make a note for the local team to ensure you're placed in a twin room rather than a double.
- G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2025
  On Day 2, the group will start with a short orientation with your tour leader (usually about an hour) just to explore Madrid and get to know everyone. After that, the rest of the day is free for you to enjoy Madrid at your own pace.
- G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2025
  All transportation listed in the itinerary is included, including the transfer to the train station for your journey to Sarria.
