Discover The Camino francés

The Camino Francés is one of the most popular and cosmopolitan routes in Spain. It stretches approximately 780 km from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, in France, to Santiago de Compostela, in Spain. It takes about one month of walking to complete this hike in its entirety.

This historic path crosses the northern part of the country, offering hikers a journey through varied landscapes, including the Pyrenees mountains, fertile plains, lush hills, and of course, significant cultural sites.

Starting from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port

You will start at the border, in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, and cross the Pyrenees in a steep initial stage to reach Navarre and the Roncesvalles Pass. This challenging stage will reward you with its incredible panoramic views.

Must-see stages

About two stages after Roncesvalles, you will reach Pamplona, famous for its San Fermín festivities. Pamplona also boasts significant cultural and historical wealth.

On the way towards Logroño, you will pass through the Rioja wine region, offering vineyard landscapes and the opportunity to taste the famous local wines.

The path will then take you to Burgos, before crossing the “Meseta,” a plateau surrounded by various mountain ranges. You will then descend to reach Galicia and Santiago de Compostela.

And why not finish your journey by the ocean and hike to Fisterra?

Cultural and natural experience

The route offers a great diversity of landscapes. The crossing of the Pyrenees provides spectacular views and a true physical challenge right at the start of the journey.

The Meseta, a vast plain in central Spain often described as monotonous, offers a unique experience with its endless landscapes and wide skies.

Additionally, the region of Galicia, lush and hilly, contrasts sharply with the Meseta and is known for its mystical forests and shaded paths.

Along the way, hikers will discover towns and villages with a rich history. Cultural sites such as the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Burgos Cathedral and the Roman ruins of Puente La Reina offer a fascinating glimpse into Spain’s history and cultural heritage.
