A little Spanish will transform your Camino
It doesn’t have to be perfect.
You just have to try and the Camino will reward you
Speak enough Spanish to enjoy your Camino more
In just a few minutes a day, you’ll learn practical Spanish that helps you connect more naturally with locals on the Camino.
Do you need to learn Spanish to walk the Camino de Santiago?
You can get by without it.
BUT
You’ll be doing yourself a disservice.
Many pilgrims don’t learn Spanish. Most later wish they had learned just enough.
-
Do you want to connect with the locals in Spain while you are walking the Camino?
-
You don’t want to feel lonely and isolated because you’re in a small village where nobody speaks English?
-
Do you want to feel confident walking through Spain?
-
You don’t have time to master the Spanish language but you would like to know enough to get by?
If you answered YES to all or most of these questions, you’re in the right place.
Even if you think that learning a new language is difficult.
Or that you don’t have time to become fluent.
Or that you’re not good at languages.
Or that you’re too old to learn a new language.
The truth is that you don’t need to become fluent. You don’t have to study for years.
You can be strategic about it and learn the words and phrases you’ll need to help you order food, find accommodation, ask for help and connect with people along the way.
The locals will appreciate your efforts and reward you for it.
Spanish for the Camino will give you exactly that:
Practical Spanish for future pilgrims.
Most courses and apps teach you generic stuff, some of which you’ll never be able to use on the Camino.
Spanish for the Camino focuses on situations pilgrims encounter daily:
- Checking in at the albergue
- Ordering food & drink
- Talking about minor health issues
- Shopping for supplies
- Asking for help
- Making small talk with locals
❌ With no Spanish
- Relying entirely on translation apps
- Worried you won’t be understood
- Unsure how to ask basic questions
✔️ With Spanish
- More confident and independent
- Better prepared for unexpected situations
- Enjoying warmer interactions with locals
Why me?
¡Hola! Soy María.
I’m a Spanish teacher who lives on the Camino Portugués.
When I’m not walking the Camino, I help other pilgrims learn the Spanish they need for their walk across Spain on the Camino de Santiago.
I believe that walking into a café, joining a local festival and chatting with people, understanding what’s going on, feeling connected… will help you enjoy a richer, more meaningful Camino.
That’s why I help you learn the Spanish language and culture you need to make the Camino a truly transforming experience.
The locals don’t expect your Spanish to be perfect.
But they will appreciate your efforts.

5 Days of Camino Spanish
5 tiny Spanish lessons for the Camino (under 10 minutes each)
Imagine walking into a small bar at the end of a long day. The owner doesn’t speak English, and after a day of pilgrims shouting slowly in their own language as if volume might somehow help, they’re bracing themselves for another one.
Then you walk in and open with a simple Buenas tardes.
Their whole demeanor changes. They smile. They relax. And when your drink arrives, the tapa is just a little bigger than everyone else’s.
That’s what a little Camino Spanish can do. Not fluency. Not perfection. Just enough to show respect and let the Camino reward you for it.
Sign up and get immediate free access to 5 Days of Camino Spanish, your first steps towards a richer Camino. Even if you’re leaving in a couple of weeks.
