El Camino de Santiago de Compostela (in English: The Way of St. James) is a network of routes across Spain and Europe which all lead to Santiago de Compostela, in the northwest of Spain. In the Middle Ages, these routes were walked as a pilgrimage to the tomb of the apostle St. James.
Nowadays, tens of thousands walk or cycle the Camino de Santiago every year in an epic journey of hundreds of kilometers. People from all over the world with all kinds of motivations: sport, culture, health, religion, nature, adventure etc., travel El Camino de Santiago, or parts of it, in an unforgettable lifetime experience.
