Camino Frances : St Jean Pied De Port to Santiago de Compostela

The Camino Frances is perhaps the most iconic of all pilgrimage routes ending at the tomb of St James in Santiago de Compostela.

Made even more famous in the film The Way, this beautiful Camino winds its way through the Pyrenees from St Jean Pied de Port in France. It meanders for 800 kilometres through Pamplona, Logrono, Burgos, Leon and Astorga before arriving in the UNESCO city of Santiago.
