Trip Details
Zen & Tonic
The Camino is a “must do” trail for anyone who loves to walk, enjoys time in nature and wants to have a “fitness” goal for 2026. This trip will be filled with memories & maybe a few blisters!
Our route has been shortened to four days of walking, 79km, making the trip beginner friendly with 2 days at the end in a rural hotel for rest, relaxation and fun.
All my Wellness Activity Breaks are designed for those who are perhaps a little older, like to look after their health through fun activities and meet new people, while still enjoying good food—and a guilt-free glass of wine.
What to expect
Peace & Nature
For this wonderful walking holiday we are staying in local 2 and 3 star hotels in each of our overnight stops. Each day begins with a hearty breakfast, advice from our guide as well as walking notes. You are welcome to walk each days route at your own pace and enjoy your time on the trail. At night, we will enjoy great food and stories from our day.
Our four day Camino will finish on front of the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela followed by a well earned celebratory party.
Our last 2 nights in Spain will be spent in a rural hotel where you can relax in the gardens, enjoy swimming pools, yoga classes and more great food!
All transfers and daily luggage transfers are included on this trip.
Your Host

A lifelong explorer since age four, Sinéad is a Mental Health and Wellness Coach, Solo Travel Expert, and author of the CAP-nominated memoir Life Is a Cycle.

About Me
Wellness & Travel Expert
I finally achieved my goal of 7 continents in 2025. Having combined my love of Yoga, the great outdoors and travel I created my Wellness Activity Group Trips in 2022. I love travelling solo but after a lot of conversations with others, I realised that people wanted fun, healthy, outdoorsy trips but didn’t want to travel alone. My trips are “dip in dip out” meaning you can have company or alone time to suit your needs. All my trips are age-appropriate (I’m in my 50s now) and most importantly, while active they are fun and relaxing too.
I am a highly accomplished athlete, but as I am getting older futureproofing my body, mind and soul has become my main focus. Let me inspire you to move, stay mobile and enjoy much-needed rejuvenation in the sun.
