Camino de Santiago (route descriptions)
Pilgrimage routes in Europe / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Camino de Santiago, also known as the Way of St. James, extends from different countries of Europe, and even North Africa, on its way to Santiago de Compostela and Finisterre. The local authorities try to restore many of the ancient routes, even those used in a limited period, in the interest of tourism.
