The French Way or Camino Francés is the most famous of all the Camino de Santiago routes, featuring in many documentaries, books and movies such as ‘The Way’. While St Jean Pied de Port is the official starting point of the French Way, many choose to start their Camino from other points along the route. The most popular starting point is the town of Sarria, Galicia, 111km away from Santiago. The last section of the French Way is also the most social part of the route, where you will meet many fellow pilgrims and find the real spirit and camaraderie of the Camino! This is the most popular walking tour of the Camino de Santiago, perfect for those looking to capture the essence of the Camino: a nice walk, good food and wine, discovering local customs, meeting fellow pilgrims and enjoying its unique atmosphere. You won’t forget a single minute of it! This section of the Camino de Santiago covers the last 100km of the Camino Francés, the minimum required to apply for your Compostela certificate. The Camino will take you across woodlands, farmland and rustic hamlets, following tracks and paths lined by granite stone walls. The green rolling landscape of Galicia is part of each day’s walk, until you approach your destination: the mythical city of Santiago de Compostela.
