What is the easiest route of the Camino de Santiago?
Choosing the easiest and most suitable route depends on your physical condition and other factors. However, there are two specific routes considered the most popular and easiest to do.
If you are looking for the easiest route of the Camino de Santiago, the French Way from Sarria is the most recommended option. This route covers the last 100 kilometers of the French Way, the minimum required to obtain the Compostela.
This stretch stands out for its moderate terrain, well-marked paths, available hostels, and services for pilgrims. Also, since it doesn’t have extremely long or difficult stages, you can enjoy the Galician landscape at a comfortable pace.
Another option to consider is the Portuguese Way from Tui, which also covers around 100 kilometers. It is relatively flat, with well-developed infrastructure for walkers and good signage.
