My Camino Journey
The Camino de Santiago, also known as the way of St James is the ancient Catholic pilgrimage route to the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in north-western Spain. Legend has it that the bones of the apostle St James were brought by boat from Jerusalem to northern Spain and are buried under the site of what is now the city of Santiago de Compostela. The Camino trail has been an important Christian pilgrimage route for over 1000 years and was considered to be one of the three pilgrimage routes on which all sins could be forgiven.There are many routes to Santiago de Compostela, starting from a variety of points, from as far away as Belgium to as close as 100km from Santiago. Traditionally the route starts when you leave home. The most popular route is the Camino Frances and this is the route I will be taking. I will be Starting in Pamplona and going all the way to Santiago de Compostela. This route is around 700kms long and passes along the top of north- western Spain passing through large cities and ancient villages and hamlets with a wide variety of scenery along the way.
