The Camino de Santiago

The Camino de Santiago (Latin: Peregrinatio Compostellana, “Pilgrimage of Compostela”; Galician: O Camiño de Santiago), known in English as the Way of Saint James,  is a network of pilgrims’ ways or pilgrimages leading to the shrine of the apostle Saint James the Great in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain, where tradition has it that the remains of the saint are buried.

The French Way or Camino Frances starts in the South of France, St Jean Pied the Port, and stretches across the North of Spain, finishing in Santiago de Compostela. More info on each of the stages of the route can be found here.
