Lace up your boots. This is life after the bottle, one beautiful step at a time.

Join Recovery Elevator for a sober Camino de Santiago like no other — a 10-day pilgrimage along the historic Portuguese Coastal Camino, from the medieval seaside town of Baiona all the way to the legendary Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. No bars. No “one drink won’t hurt.” Just you, the Atlantic coastline, a community of fellow alcohol-free travelers, and a finish line you’ve been walking towards your entire life.

This is the inaugural journey in Recovery Elevator’s new Pilgrimage Series.

This isn’t your average walking tour, and it’s not your average sober travel retreat either. It’s a pilgrimage in every sense — physical, spiritual, and deeply personal — built for people who’ve ditched the booze and are ready to discover what they’re actually capable of.

Why Walk the Camino Sober?

At Recovery Elevator, we believe the opposite of addiction is connection. On this trip, you’ll connect with:

• The land — 120+ kilometers of Galician coastline, medieval bridges, eucalyptus forests, and quiet country lanes
• The culture — experience shellfish harvesting with local gatherers, take a private boat trip to Cortegada Island, and immerse yourself in pilgrim history.
• Your fellow AF travelers — a group of people who get it, with zero pressure and zero judgment
• Yourself — one solid, sober step at a time, all the way to Obradoiro Square

There’s no hangover at the end of this trail. Just the kind of clarity that comes from doing something hard, on purpose, completely present.

Give back as you go: spend a day on a hands-on beach clean-up, helping protect the same Galician coastline you’re walking along.

Ready to walk, connect, reflect, and grow?

At Recovery Elevator we believe the opposite of addiction is connection: we will be connecting with nature, the stars, the ocean, the land, food, others who have ditched the booze, and most importantly ourselves. These trips are special because we all have one common goal: living an authentic alcohol-free life.
