The Way of Saint James – EL CAMINO de SANTIAGO

Every year thousands of pilgrims embark on the Camino de Santiago, a route of ancient trails cutting through the heartlands of Spain. Here at TOMA & COE we offer you the opportunity to join them in a journey of physical and emotional enlightenment.

Our Journey Begins Here

Ask anyone who has undertaken a pilgrimage and their eyes will light up as they remember a wonderful experience that probably changed their life, or at least their appreciation of it.

Life takes a slower pace and a pilgrim takes on a medieval mentality to the world, to travel, to movement, to daily goals. A pilgrimage strips away the dust of busy lives and takes you on an internal journey as you walk an ancient path. It´s what we all need, especially at the moment. A return to medieval travel is just what the doctor ordered.

The Camino de Santiago is one of the most famous pilgrimage routes in Europe. The destination is Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, in the northwest of Spain. There are many routes from the north, south, east and west. The particular route we take is called the Camino Mozárabe and it begins in Málaga, stretching throught the heartlands of Andalucía to Córdoba and beyond, before it meets with another route, La Vía de la Plata, in the city of Mérida in Extremadura.

Group Tour

We take care of every logistic so you have nothing to worry about. Walk alone or walk with a companion. Our group tours are in their sixth year and many pilgrims have returned for more. A truly unforgettable pilgrimage experience.

There really aren't words to describe how well cared for we were and how the Camino provided so many wonderful surprises everyday. Do not hesitate to book a trip with TOMA & COE, you will not be disappointed.

From the first moment to the last, the Camino Mozarabe trip with TOMA & COE was so mindfully planned each day seemed perfect. Manni Coe’s contacts open doors that would be unknown otherwise. Back home for just a minute I thought: Did all that really happen or was it just a beautiful dream?

Planned with all the precision of a military operation and all the love, care, and attention to detail of a high end concierge service; the Camino Mozarabe trip was a wonderful experience full of hiking, laughing, and learning.

I recently returned from a 9 day trip through beautiful Andalucia with this unparalleled tour company guided by Manni and Pablo. Our small group trip was their “1st” ever pilgrimage along El Camino Mozarabe. I was awed by their attention to detail, attention to the individual, attention to culture and history, attention to food and fun fun fun! Our accommodations were unique and, oh so, excellent. Manni and Pablo took us to spots so “un-touristy” that it gave us that hard to find “locals” experience each and every day. They had doors opened for us that have taken years of careful cultivation by them to make happen and those experiences inspired all of us.

Toma & Coe took care of everything which means I'm free to focus 100% of my energy on walking... letting go... and being present. The sights were breathtaking. The food was amazing. The hotels were perfect. The guides were angels. And the strangers I walked with will be life-long friends.I'm a changed person and I can't wait to go back and walk with Toma and Coe next year!

There aren't words to describe how well cared for we were and how the Camino provided so many wonderful surprises everyday. Do not hesitate to book a trip with TOMA & COE, you will not be disappointed.

A walk on the Camino with TOMA & COE is as good as it gets. This journey on the pilgrim path is beautiful and meaningful beyond expectations and Manni adds depth to the experience.

Our three day tour of Andalucia was the highlight of our trip to Spain!... We truly felt we got to see each city as a local might - to stepping into small convent in Rhonda and speaking with nun to dining at a secret beach restaurant in Algeciras to observing the tuna fisherman hard at work in Barbate.

Toma and Coe was absolutely excellent to work with. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and very accommodating. They helped me make the most of my trip to Southern Spain... I highly recommend using them for your travel guide needs. I definitely plan on using them on my future travels.
