About the Camino De Santiago Pilgrimage
Camino De Santiago (other known as the Way of Saint James or the Pilgrimage of Compostela) is the most popular pilgrimage in the world. It isn't a single route and instead consists of countless different routes across Europe that all have a common ending point - the Santiago De Compostela or the tomb of Saint James the Great. The first accounts of this Pilgrimage being hiked are found over 1200 years ago, so it's also one of the oldest hiking trails in the world. These routes usually aren't challenging but may take a long time to complete, depending on which one your choose. Each goes over different countries and terrains and is in different lengths, so they're very different from one another. The most popular route by far is the Camino Frances, but there also are many other ones that are somewhat popular (which we've included in this map), including Camino Finisterre, Camino Ingles, Camino Primitivo, Camino Del Norte, Le Puy Camino, Via De La Plata, Camino Portugues Coastal, and Camino Portugues Central. Sometimes, people also complete these trails in different variations by combining multiple different routes, of which the most popular ones are Camino Frances + Le Puy Camino, Camino Portugues Central + Coastal, and Camino Primitivo + Camino del Norte.
Important: There are multiple Camino de Santiago Routes. So if you're buying this print as a gift, make sure that you're buying the correct one! You'll find a list of all the routes that we've covered over here.
