| The Camino de Santiago de Compostela, the Way of St. James the Apostle, is a series of walks that combine to form a route that has been travelled for hundreds of years by pilgrims from all over Europe.There are several Caminos but the most popular is the Camino Frances | |
 |
This route runs for almost 800 kilometres and those who choose this route will usually start off at St. Jean Pied de Port in France and cross the Pyrenees into Spain following the Camino through the main towns and cities. Pilgrims pass from the Navarre area into Rioja, across the Meseta and enter Castille before heading onwards into Galicia to finally reach Santiago de Compostela. |
| Those who travel these routes do so for many reasons – sight seeing, cultural, health – but most walk the Camino for religious reasons, as a Pilgrimage. These Peregrinos have followed traditional pathways marked out by las flechas amarillas sleeping at refugios along the way, | |
| immersing themselves in the environmental, cultural and religious experiences of the Camino. Those Peregrinos who walk at least the final 100 kilometres to Santiago are able to register for and receive the Compostela. Peregrinos carry with them a Credential in which they collect Sellos each day from the villages and chapels that they pass by along the Way. This document is presented at the Oficina del Peregrinos in Santiago and in return Peregrinos receive their Compostela. | .png) |
