Spain Adventure Bucket List

Walk the Camino Frances (780km) from France to Santiago de Compostela

Walk the Camino Frances, the most popular route of the Camino de Santiago, covering approximately 780 km from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. This historic pilgrimage passes through the Pyrenees, the Rioja wine region, and the Meseta plateau, with highlights including the Gothic cathedral in Burgos, the Roman ruins in Leon, and the Pilgrim's Mass at the Cathedral of Santiago, where the tomb of St. James is said to lie. Along the way, you'll stay in pilgrim albergues, meet travelers from around the world, and collect stamps in your pilgrim passport (credencial) to earn the Compostela certificate upon arrival.
