A historic jewel of the Camino, León welcomes you with Gothic cathedrals, Romanesque basilicas, and the quiet hum of pilgrim life. It’s the perfect place to begin your journey. Rich in culture, sacred spaces, and the gentle anticipation of the road ahead.
O Cebreiro
Perched high in the mountains, O Cebreiro is one of the most iconic and mystical places on the Camino. With its Celtic‑style stone houses, sweeping views, and deep spiritual history, this mountaintop village marks a powerful turning point in your pilgrimage.

Your journey culminates in Santiago, where the cathedral’s towers rise above centuries of prayer. Standing in Obradoiro Square, receiving your Compostela, and visiting the tomb of St. James is a moment pilgrims carry in their hearts forever.

Testimonials
Luz
Pilgrim in 2023
One of the best things I had done was with the best leadership. Mary not only scheduled everything for us… She and her team were amazing, supporting us during those extraordinary moments. I will always remember her and thank her for being there for us!
Diane
Pilgrim in 2024
Just completed my third pilgrimage planned in detail by Mary Maddox. Two on the French Camino, one to Medjugorje. Once again, all the lodging was really nice, and transportation of both me and my luggage was smooth and without a glitch. Plus, Mary is a joy to work with.

Pilgrim in 2025
Mary helped us plan a perfect trip, detailed for our hopes, preferences, personalities, and budget. Everything was seamless and perfect from initial planning, financial budgeting, and communication before, during, and after the trip. Everything went perfectly, and the accommodations were all different/unique and added immensely to the entire experience.

Mary Maddox
I’ve been leading spiritual pilgrimages for many years, and I am still very much a student on the journey myself. Traveling is one of my great loves, and sharing sacred paths with others brings me deep joy. I am a certified Integrative Holistic Health Coach, Meditation Teacher, and Spiritual Coach, but more than any title, I see myself as a companion — someone walking beside you, listening, learning, and holding space along the way.
My own spiritual life is rooted in prayer, reflection, and the wisdom found in both stillness and movement. I believe that pilgrimage is not just something we do with our feet, but with our hearts — and that every journey has the power to shape, soften, and transform us.
In my everyday life, you’ll often find me hiking, reading, shopping for a good deal, spending time with my children and grandchildren, or dreaming up and planning the next pilgrimage. I am grateful for the simple moments of life, the beauty of creation, and the privilege of walking this spiritual path with others.
It is truly an honor to journey with pilgrims — to witness their stories, their courage, and their unfolding — and to walk together toward deeper meaning, connection, and grace.
