Saint James Way or Way of Saint James by walking, horseback riding or bike

Filed under: Active travel Spain — SpainDreams @ 11:33 pm

Taking the Camino Frances (French Way), the most popular route of all, the Camino de Santiago can be covered in almost one month, which means a total of about 750 km separating Roncesvalles in the province of Navarra (Navarre, Spain) and Santiago de Campostela (Galicia, Spain). Starting point are the French Pyrenees.

Of course you can also join the St. James Way during any of the different stages. One of the stages covers Santo Domingo de la Calzada in La Rioja and Villafranca de Montes de Oca, province of Burgos (Castile and Leon), with many fountains and historic monuments along the route.

The next stage passes Atapuerca, a village which has become very well known due to the importance of archaeological finds regarding the human origin and evolution and reaches Burgos with its gothic Cathedral and chapel, which is dedicated to Santiago, and also many churches.
