Way of St. Andrew

Join ALP on a pilgrimage to the tomb of the Apostle St. Andrew along the Amalfi Coast among high cliffs dropping into the sea and beautiful coastal towns.  This pilgrimage is a great way to escape the tourist crowds and to discover the backroads.  On our hike from Sorrento to Amalfi, there will be crystal clear waters, historic sights, excellent food, and a deep spiritual heritage to immerse yourself in.
