The Camino Francés stands out as the most popular and tourist-centric route in the Camino de Santiago network. Every year, thousands of pilgrims embark on its approximately 800-kilometer journey, starting from the captivating Basque town of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port.

Originating in the 9th century with the discovery of the apostle's remains, this route became a pilgrimage destination for travelers across Europe. Over time, it evolved into a pivotal axis for the development of services and infrastructure supporting the journey. In the mid-1990s, it gained recognition as a unique cultural and knowledge journey in Europe, attracting walkers for diverse reasons beyond religious motives.

The Camino weaves through villages, towns, and picturesque medieval cities, each offering its own historical, cultural, and culinary charm across various regions of Spain. Beyond a simple walking ascent, the Camino Francés provides a distinctive social and cultural experience, an unforgettable adventure that leaves a lasting imprint on those who undertake the journey.
