Camino de Santiago Map Guide (3/4) · Nat Geo

Waterproof, Tear-Resistant Topographic Map

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 journeying to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela to venerate the remains of Saint James. Though rooted in Christian tradition, the route has evolved into a nondenominational spiritual rite and an epic long-distance trail. It winds along Roman roads, crosses mountains, and passes through picturesque countryside and historic towns.
