Vía de la Plata
The Vía de la Plata (Silver Way) is the most important Camino de Santiago route from southern Spain. Starting in Seville, it follows the ancient Roman road northward through Extremadura and Castilla y León, covering nearly 1,000 km to Santiago de Compostela.
Camino del Norte
The Camino del Norte follows the Cantabrian coast from Irún to Ribadeo at the entrance to Galicia, where it turns southwest toward Compostela. It passes through tourist areas and combines highly urbanized stretches with sections of great natural beauty.
Camino Francés
The Camino Francés is the most popular and historically significant route to Santiago de Compostela, where the majority of medieval European pilgrimage routes converge. It is the most followed path by pilgrims worldwide.
Camino de Levante
The Camino de Levante connects Valencia with the Vía de la Plata near Zamora. It crosses the interior of the Iberian Peninsula through La Mancha, passing through historic cities like Toledo, Ávila, and Salamanca.
Camino de Le Puy
The Camino de Le Puy (Via Podiensis) is the main route through France and the most popular among French pilgrims. Starting from Le Puy-en-Velay, it crosses the Massif Central and southwest France before connecting with the Camino Francés at Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port.
Camino Catalán
The Camino Catalán starts from the Monastery of Montserrat and connects, through one of its branches, with the Camino Francés in Aragon. It crosses Catalonia and Aragon through varied landscapes, from the mountains of Montserrat to the plains of Lleida and the Ebro valley.
Camino Portugués
The Camino Portugués Central is the most important route to Santiago starting from Portugal. Today its two main departure points are Porto and Tui, the latter on the Spanish-Portuguese border. It is the second most popular Camino route.
Camino Primitivo
The Camino Primitivo runs from Oviedo to Compostela through the interior of Asturias and Galicia. It originates from the pilgrimage of King Alfonso II of Asturias in the 9th century, the earliest recorded pilgrimage to Santiago (hence the name "Primitivo"). This route has gained great prestige in recent years for its landscapes, its challenging terrain, and its still-moderate pilgrim traffic.
Camino Vadiniense y Lebaniego
The Camino Vadiniense (or Jacobean Route through Liébana) connects the Camino del Norte with the Camino Francés through the Picos de Europa mountains and the Liébana valley. It passes through spectacular mountain scenery and the Monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana.
Camino Inglés
The Camino Inglés follows the medieval pilgrimage route used by English, Irish, and Northern European devotees who arrived by ship at the port of A Coruña, and to a lesser extent at ports in the rías of Ferrol, Ares, and Betanzos.
Camino del Salvador
El Camino del Salvador o de San Salvador enlaza León con Oviedo, en un recorrido que va de sur a norte cruzando la Cordillera Cantábrica. Esta ruta, montañera y exigente, era ya seguida en la Edad Media por numerosos peregrinos que se desviaban desde el Camino Francés para visitar la catedral de San Salvador y sus reliquias, traídas desde Jerusalén y alguna de ellas atribuida
