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.
This booklet is the perfect traveling companion for traversing the central-east section of the Camino Francés (French Route). This section of the trail passes through the historic city of Burgos and includes sections 10-16. A detailed description of each trail section is included, providing travelers with insights into the many landmarks encountered along the way.
Every Great Treks map is printed on "Backcountry Tough" waterproof, tear-resistant paper. A full Lat/Long grid is included on the map to aid with GPS navigation.
Every map purchase helps support the National Geographic Society, an impact-driven nonprofit organization with global reach. Through the power of science, exploration, education, and storytelling, they work to illuminate and protect the wonder of our world.
