Suggested use of this site:
While you are certainly free to roam our site at will, we have a few suggestions of specific pages that might address your specific needs and questions.
• If you have heard about the Camino and are here to find out just what this is about, we would suggest the History page to start.
• If you are familiar with the spiritual, historical and cultural background of the Camino and are beginning to think about actually walking, we would suggest the Route Overviews, FAQs and Internet Resources pages. Most of your practical questions will be addressed on the latter two.
• If you have decided to walk and are looking for a guidebook, there is the Books page.
• If you are here to request a credential, be sure to read the entire Request a Credential page and then submit the online request form.
• If you are looking to join with others either as past or future peregrinos, you might find an event that interests you on one of our events pages—Local, National Gatherings or International.
• If you have already walked and are thinking about ways to continue your connection to the Camino, you might consider becoming an hospitalero and serving in an albergue. See our Hospitaleros page for everything you will need to know about how to get started. Or see our Volunteer page for volunteer opportunities within American Pilgrims.
• If American Pilgrims seems like an organization that you'd like to join, please visit our Membership/Join page.
