Camino de Santiago Map Guide (1/4) · Nat Geo

The Way of Saint James, known in Spanish as Camino de Santiago — or simply El Camino (The Way) — has been one of Europe's most iconic walking routes since 9th-century pilgrims began making their way to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela to venerate the remains of Saint James. Though rooted in Christian tradition, the route has been reborn as a nondenominational spiritual rite and epic long-distance trail that runs along Roman roads, across mountains, and through picturesque countryside and historic towns.
