The Camino de Santiago is an amazing physical, mental, and spiritual experience. It is a trip of a lifetime. The Camino changes each day with different routes, sites, conditions, communities, and challenges. You’ll discover yourself during your journey. From my experience, the best way to experience the Camino is with a professional tour guide on a fully supported trip. Don’t rely on an app to guide you or try to plan this yourself. This endeavor will change you and you’ll need some flexibility and guidance from day to day to best experience the Camino. Chris and Marco from Climbing Mountains fit our journey to our changing needs and desires. Because of their efforts and experience, we saw sites and found new meaning that we would have missed on our own. Chris and Marco worked tirelessly to accommodate us along the way and became part of our Camino.

Our trip on the Camino De Santiago was great! And a good value too. Our Guide David did a wonderful job by providing details and pointing out unique features along the Camino. David was very responsive to individual requests for assistance with little problems that pop up. David was very knowledgeable about local foods and special dishes and very helpful to those with special dietary needs. Everyone in our group enjoyed their journey on the Camino. Thank you Tour Radar and Thank you David. John Outfleet

Best time to visit Northern Spain
- Spring 2026
Spring transforms our northern routes with green rolling hills and blooming fruit trees. Cycling becomes particularly good as temperatures warm - you'll ride through the Cantabrian Mountains, along the Ebro Reservoir shores and into quiet valleys where eagles circle above. Food enthusiasts join our Real Food Adventures to experience spring ingredients in local markets, from fresh asparagus, seasonal vegetables and also early cherries. Our travelers often mention watching fishermen bring in their daily catch in coastal towns like San Sebastian and Getaria. Wine tours through Rioja take on a special feeling in spring, with visits to family wineries and guided tastings that showcase local grape varieties.

- Summer 2026
Summer brings many visitors to Northern Spain for its diverse landscapes and milder Atlantic climate. Our small groups mix cultural highlights with outdoor activities - you might start by exploring Oviedo's pre-Romanesque churches, then spend afternoons taking in views from Picos de Europa National Park. Coastal routes are especially popular, offering fresh seafood in La Coruña's markets and drives along the Spanish Fjords. Travelers tell us they appreciate how we balance guided activities with free time to explore Santiago de Compostela's old quarter or join locals for evening pintxos in San Sebastian's narrow streets.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall colors transform Northern Spain's wine regions and mountains, making it ideal for food and wine tours. Harvest season brings special activities in La Rioja's vineyards and chances to learn traditional wine-making in Porto's historic cellars. Our guests particularly enjoy autumn market visits, where you'll find mushrooms, chestnuts, seasonal produce and also local specialties. Walking tours feel different as temperatures drop - you can hike through colorful forests in the Picos de Europa and explore medieval villages like Santillana del Mar without summer heat. Many travelers mention appreciating the quieter atmosphere at major sites and experiencing local harvest festivals.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter in Northern Spain offers plenty to discover both inside and out during the cooler months. Small group tours cover multiple countries, taking you through Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu Stadium and Barcelona's Gothic Quarter before heading north. You'll find yourself exploring Bilbao's covered markets and spending quality time in the Guggenheim Museum's grand galleries. Food tours work especially well in winter - you can warm up learning to cook in traditional Basque kitchens and explore Porto's historic wine cellars. Our customers tell us they love seeing medieval walls in places like Santillana del Mar without the summer crowds, and the hearty northern Spanish food tastes even better when it's cool - from rich Cantabrian stews, regional specialties and also fresh grilled seafood.
