By Route & Region

The classic French Way — from the Pyrenees across the meseta to Galicia. Roncesvalles, Burgos, León, the Cruz de Ferro and O Cebreiro.

Green, rain-washed Galicia — hórreos and eucalyptus, the final stages into Santiago de Compostela, and the wild capes of Finisterre and Muxía.

The Portuguese Way, heading north from Porto through Ponte de Lima and Tui into Galicia — quiet lanes, granite villages and river crossings.

Walking beside the sea — the Portuguese Coastal Way and the Camino del Norte, where the path traces cliffs, estuaries and Atlantic light.

Navarre and La Rioja — Roncesvalles and Pamplona, then vineyards and red earth on the way west to Burgos.

The Basque Country — Bilbao and the Guggenheim, San Sebastián, and the green hills where the northern route begins.
