Spain's Camino de Santiago with UConn Alumni

Join us on the Camino de Santiago
Sep 1 - 11, 2025

Hike the Way of Saint James with other UConn alumni on this incredible walk of a lifetime. The crown jewel of Spanish walking trails, the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela began as an act of faith as Europeans crossed Spain to visit the sacred tomb of Saint James. One thousand years later, the Camino continues to draw the spiritual as well as the traveler looking to enjoy the beauty of the green rolling hills and small hamlets of northwestern Spain’s Galicia. This is truly slow travel at its best and we want you to savior it step by step! As we will cover the last 112 km, you will be able to request the Compostela certificate in the Pilgrim's Office in Santiago too.
