Camino del Norte

Cost:

Women Only

Max Capacity:

20 Spots


I think it’s easy to underestimate what can happen when you put yourself somewhere new for a few days. You’re around different people, having different conversations, learning new things, and doing things that aren’t part of your normal week. All of that can get you thinking in ways you might not at home.

A retreat also gives you time to pay attention. How is your faith? How are you taking care of your health? What’s working well in your life and what could use some attention? We’ll talk about things that matter, spend time with God, learn from one another, and hopefully come away with some practical ideas we can actually use when we get home.

And because this is a women’s retreat, there’s also a comfortable openness that tends to happen when women spend a few days together. Add in great food, beautiful surroundings, exercise, new experiences, and plenty of laughter, and I think it’s a pretty great way to spend a few days.

Trip Details

We’ll begin with three days together before we start walking. This gives us time to settle in, get to know one another, and dig into our teaching and discussions as we focus on our faith, health, and the life God is calling us to live. We’ll work out, enjoy some great meals, and leave plenty of free time to kayak, walk the beach, shop, explore, or simply relax.

Then we’ll spend five days walking the Camino del Norte along Spain’s beautiful northern coast, averaging about 7–12 miles a day. We’ll walk past beaches and ocean views, through green countryside, small villages, historic towns, and Oyambre Natural Park. Along the way, we’ll visit places like Comillas and San Vicente de la Barquera and eventually make our way from Cantabria into Asturias.

The hours on the trail will also give us time to pray, talk with God, enjoy His creation, and think about some of what we’ve been learning. After our final walk into Naves, we’ll head back to Bilbao for a celebratory dinner and one last evening together.

Welcome!

Our retreat begins at Villa Magalean, a beautiful eight-room boutique hotel tucked right at the foot of Hondarribia’s historic Old Town. Once you arrive, get settled in and take a little time to look around before we meet for appetizers and our welcome session.

Later, we’ll sit down for our first dinner together and officially kick off the week. I think Hondarribia is going to be a pretty great place to call home for these first few days.

Time to Learn, Explore & Have Some Fun

We’ll start our first full day with breakfast, followed by teaching and discussion, and then a workout. For lunch, we’ll head into Hondarribia and get our first taste of this Basque fishing town.

The afternoon is open to explore. Kayak, walk the beach, shop, wander through the old walled town, or head toward the colorful Marina district and find a spot for a coffee or pintxo. We’ll meet back up that evening for drinks and dinner.

It’s also a good day to think about some of what we’ve been learning and get ready for what comes next. Tomorrow we leave our beautiful home base behind and begin experiencing northern Spain in a completely different way: on foot.
