	The Camino: September 15 - 21, 2011 COST: $2,265.00 per person, twin share. The Camino is the Spanish name for the historic Pilgrims' Way terminating in Santiago de Compostela.

In this final stage it passes through the lush green farmlands, forests and vineyards of Galicia, a region of Spain with strong cultural traditions and cuisine. This trip will be led by Ria Erasmus, a veteran pilgrimage walker. She has walked the whole of the Spanish Camino, most of the French Chemin from Le Puy, and a long section through Tuscany.
