Ernest Hemingway, Healthy Living and Travel

Follow the Camino, the World Camino Experts since 2006, is proud to announce the launch, of the first ever Walking Holiday on the Camino de Santiago dedicated to one of the world’s favourite authors Ernest Hemingway.

The Camino Heming-Way traces the first part of the French way starting in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on the French border to Pamplona. But we have added a Hemingway twist to this Camino. This unique walk is arguably one of the most scenic, challenging and rewarding of all the itineraries we offer. And now, it can also be a journey through time and literature.

In only five days, you will experience French gastronomy, cross the Pyrenees, discover the legendary Basque country and arrive in one of Hemingway’s favourite Spanish cities: Pamplona, where he wrote a masterpiece “The Sun Also Rises. You will also stop near Burquete, on the Irati River, where Hemingway was fishing for trout and resting after the San Fermin Festival. Then, at arrival in Pamplona, you will visit the city on the footsteps of Hemingway: have a drink in Café Iruna, take a picture at the Hemingway Monument and enjoy the local specialities favoured by Ernest Hemingway.

Who is this for?

This tour is recommend for Hemingway enthusiasts and anyone looking for an alternative to the last 100km of the French Way, the most popular section! So why not follow Heming-Way’s step and walk from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Pamplona.
