The choice of hotel, a fairly small family-run affair in Bomerano, was one of the things that made this holiday, with staff that were always both attentive and cheerful. The second important feature of the holiday is the location, within the amazing scenery of the Amalfi coast, with stupendous views at every turn of the footpath.
Great trip, great guide, and great group The atmosphere along the Camino is great, you quickly lose count of how many time you exchange "Bon Camino" with others on the way. The country side is lovely, especial the closer you get the Santiago. Our guide Daniel was excellent, he kept us going but without being bossy. I don't know how he did it but he created an experience that we all enjoyed. The accommodation was really well chosen - the first night was little bland, but after that we stayed in really charming places, all were clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Our group was quite diverse, both in age, fitness and backgrounds, but we all got on really well - makes the last day rather sad. There is no doubt about it, Spain really is hilly, so be prepared, and the last day is long (I skipped a bit in the van) but well worth it. I'm a vegetarian. The trip notes mention the need to be "flexible". Spain is not the best place for vegi food, Daniel did his best, but don't expect a wide variety - but you should still go!
We became like a family. Our guide Marysol and driver Sebastiano were just amazing. It was really value for money. Will certainly look forward to do another trip with Expat Explore and certainly with Marysol and Sebastiano. Sandhya
