Explore the Camino de Santiago, a network of pilgrimage routes leading to the shrine of the apostle St. James the Great in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain. The French Way, known as the Camino Francés, is the most popular route, offering pilgrims a transformative journey through diverse landscapes and rich cultural experiences. Embark on a journey through history and spirituality as you traverse the French Way, spanning approximately 800 kilometers from the Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela. Each stage of this renowned pilgrimage route reveals unique scenery, from rolling hills and lush valleys to picturesque villages and historic towns. In February 2023, I embarked on this pilgrimage during a rain-free week, cherishing the solitude and camaraderie along the way. Returning with unforgettable memories, I invite you to discover more about the Camino de Santiago through our guide and consider embarking on your own pilgrimage of discovery.

This is an itinerary I made with my family, we did a lot of places in a short period of time, you can definitively stay longer in some places, or do just one part of it ( for example only Galicia , Cantabria & Asturias; or only Pais Vasco ) The only place I would skip in this itinerary is Vigo, the rest of them are incredibly nice. Orense is nothing special but the Canyon is worth visiting.
