🗺️ About the Route
The Camino de Santiago—or El Camino, “The Way”—has inspired pilgrims and adventurers since the 9th century, when the remains of Saint James were said to have been discovered at Santiago de Compostela. While deeply rooted in Christian tradition, today the Camino is a nondenominational spiritual rite, attracting walkers from across the globe.
This section of the Camino Francés begins in the Basque foothills of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, ascends across the Pyrenees, and descends into Spain’s Navarra region through Pamplona (Iruña), following ancient Roman roads, scenic countryside, and charming medieval towns.
