The Camino de Santiago de Compostela runs across northern Spain, originating in the Galicia region where the tomb of the apostle James the Great was discovered in the ninth century.

The gothic cathedrals, medieval monasteries and miles of beautiful rural scenery make this section of the ancient route so popular.
