🎶 Songs of Santiago: A Culturally Immersive Songwriting Retreat📍 Astorga to Trabadelo, Spain | 🗓️ October 5–19, 2026
🌍 Apply Now: www.singmebackhomesongwriting.com/santiago
Join us for a unique two-week songwriting retreat along one of the most beloved stretches of Spain’s historic Camino de Santiago (Camino Francés). This bilingual (English/Spanish) retreat invites participants to explore the deep connections between mindfulness, songwriting, and walking—while immersing themselves in the landscapes, flavors, and rhythms of northern Spain.
🌿 What We’ll Do:
– Walk each morning along the Camino from Astorga to Trabadelo, sharing the path with fellow pilgrims
– Dive into creative co-writing sessions every other afternoon, drawing on the landscapes, languages, and cultures we encounter
– Explore the rich musical, culinary, and cultural traditions of the Bierzo region—famous for its Celtic music, vineyards, and hospitality
– Create and perform original songs in a final concert for pilgrims in the medieval town of Villafranca del Bierzo
– Optional solo continuation to Santiago de Compostela to receive your Compostela certificate
✨ Each day will focus on one of the five senses, with prompts guiding you into deeper awareness of the present moment, the road beneath your feet, and the stories within and around you.
🎸 Ideal Participants:
Musicians and writers with some experience in songwriting, basic Spanish comprehension, and an openness to walking, listening, and being changed. Instruments welcome (guitar, mandolin, fiddle, etc.).
🔟 Space is limited to 10 participants to support close collaboration, meaningful connections with our Spanish hosts, and a deeply rooted experience of the Camino.
