The Way is Calling: The Next Camino de Santiago
Plans are officially underway for our third USD pilgrimage to El Camino de Santiago in June 2027. This iconic journey across Northern Spain is more than just a trek; it is a profound experience of faith, reflection, community, and discovery.
Ready to become a peregrino? To ensure you don’t miss this "bucket list" opportunity, please join our Traveling Toreros Interest List.

- Priority Booking: Spots will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Securing Your Space: A non-refundable deposit (per person) will be required to guarantee each registration.

A Look Back to 2022 and 2024
In a world with billions of people, on a pilgrimage completed by millions over the course of nine centuries, Toreros flew thousands of miles to reach Portugal and Spain to take El Camino, the Way of St. James. Together, we walked many miles across cities, villages, valleys, and forests to reach the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
Through love, laughter, tears of joy and sorrow, sharing stories, singing, meal-sharing, Mass, meditation, prayer, and so much more - these Torero pilgrims are now bonded for life as a Camino family. To those that participated in our 2022 and 2024 Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, thank you for being an integral part of this incredible and life-changing journey.
