This 26-day tour traverses nearly 500 miles of terrain from France to Spain, and if that is too much, it can be broken up into two 13-day tours. It usually runs in September of each year, and requires between four and seven hours of riding time per day. Single rooms are not available, so travelers must be prepared to share with others. The tour website also warns that on some occasions the accommodations are rustic, in keeping with the "pilgrimage style." All meals, lodging, horses and their equipment are included in the price of this English-speaking tour.
