Camino de Santiago Routes

The Camino de Santiago is comprised of a network of routes that originate from various locations, all sharing a single goal: to reach Santiago de Compostela.

Each route is divided into a succession of stages, representing the daily kilometers to be completed. Distances typically range between 20 and 30 km, making it ideal to start walking early in the morning and reach your destination by midday. The stages connect villages, towns, and cities, where you will find all the essential services needed to rest and replenish your energy among other pilgrims, including accommodations, restaurants, supermarkets, laundries, and more.

Remember, it is not necessary to walk the entire Camino or adhere strictly to the pre-established stages for each route. You can choose any intermediate point and complete the number of stages or kilometers that are perfect for starting your journey early in the morning and reaching your destination by midday.

Below, you will find the history, routes, towns, stages, hostels, and recommendations for each route of the Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.
