El Camino is a network of pilgrimage routes leading to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, where the remains of Saint James are believed to be buried. Traditionally walked by pilgrims, it spans various paths across Europe, with the most popular being the Camino Francés, starting in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France. The journey typically covers around 500 miles and can take several weeks to complete. Pilgrims often seek spiritual growth, adventure, or a connection to history. Along the way, they encounter beautiful landscapes, historic towns, and a welcoming community of fellow travelers.
