Camino de Santiago Route Map



CAMINO DE SANTIAGO ROUTE MAP

The French Way is our proposed route from St. Jean Pied de Port to Santiago. We hope to complete the 480 mile trek in 35 or less days. 
The French Way (GalicianCamiño FrancésSpanishCamino Francés) is the most popular of the routes of the Way of St. James (SpanishCamino de Santiago), the ancient pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela in GaliciaSpain. It runs from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on the French side of the Pyrenees to Roncesvalles on the Spanish side and then another 780km on to Santiago de Compostela through the major cities of PamplonaLogroñoBurgos and León. A typical walk on the Camino Francés takes at least four weeks, allowing for one or two rest days on the way. Some travel the Camino on bicycle or on horseback.  [ref: Wikipedia]
