Camino Francés

  • 115 km From Sarria
  • 5 days Usual length

The best-known and busiest Camino. From Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port it is about 780 km, but most pilgrims start in Sarria to walk the last 100 km and earn the Compostela.

Lively, with services in every village and lots of people. That is exactly why places to stay fill up sooner than on any other route.
