The Route:
Which route should I follow?
There are many routes, many Caminos, to Santiago de Compostela. In the Middle Ages, pilgrims began their pilgrimage from their front door, whether that was in Jaca or Sevilla, Paris or Ostabat, Brussels or Vienna: there were as many routes as there were pilgrims. The best known route today, the one that most people mean then they talk about "the Camino", is the Camino francés, which crosses the north of Spain from the French border through Pamplona, Burgos and León all the way to Santiago. But many other routes have been marked and are available to modern pilgrims, beginning both inside Spain and beyond its borders. Inside Spain, well known Caminos include the Vía de la Plata which begins in Sevilla and passes through Mérida, Cáceres and Salamanca; the Camino primitivo which begins in Oviedo and passes through Lugo before meeting the Camino francés shortly before Santiago; the Camino del Norte which begins in Irún at the French border and follows the northern coast before turning inland near Ribadeo. There are now also recognized and well marked routes in France, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria … almost everywhere in Europe. You are invited to visit our Route Overviews page for further food for thought. And our statistics page (6/14/10) has some information about traffic on various routes.
Where should I start?
Once you have decided on which route you wish to follow, you will have to choose a starting point. On the Camino francés, about one-third of modern pilgrims begin at the French-Spanish border, at either St.-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France or Roncesvalles in Spain. But no matter which route you follow, remember that the Camino is, in essence, just a long path, and aside from the 100 km requirement for a Compostela, you can walk any part of any route that you wish.
For information about getting to St. Jean-Pied-de-Port and Roncesvalles or some other common starting points, visit the Transportation in Spain section of our Internet Resources page.
When should I go?
Perhaps the first question here should really be, “When can I go?” If you are a student or if you work, you may have to go whenever your vacation time allows it. But if you have the freedom to travel when you wish, then there are a couple important of considerations that present themselves: weather and crowding. July and August, even in the north of Spain, are normally HOT. Mid April through June and September through early November can be the most pleasant times of the year to walk. And the cold and wet conditions of the Spanish winter have always presented their own unique challenges to the pilgrim. No matter when you walk, however, if you are on the road for weeks or even months, chances are very good that you will encounter a wide range of weather conditions to keep your journey interesting. See our weather and climate links for detailed information.
In addition to the weather, you may also want to consider how many other pilgrims will be out there walking with you. Overcrowding on the Camino francés is notorious during the months of July and August, when most European students and working people take their long annual vacation. The other Caminos in Spain and throughout Europe do not experience similar multitudes, but since their infrastructures are not designed to handle huge numbers of pilgrims, they may feel crowded. If you would like to examine some graphs that indicate heavily walked years and months as well as some other interesting patterns and trends, we have a page of statistics. (6/14/10)
If you seek the medieval spirit of the pilgrim or if you consider the pilgrimage as a spiritual journey, you may find winter the perfect season to walk. Even on the Camino francés, crowds are nonexistent. Your first and foremost consideration however must be your preparations for the weather. Northern Spain has a true winter! You may find yourself walking in snow at Puente la Reina, freezing fog on the meseta, rain at León and warm sunshine in Galicia. You should consult the climate information we have on our Internet Resources page. On the Camino francés, most pilgrim services such as albergues and restaurants remain open during the winter; on other routes, winter services may be less available.
If you have decided to put off your Camino from the Holy Year of 2010 to 2011 to avoid crowds there is one particular event taking place that year that you should also take into account. World Youth Day 2011 is scheduled for Madrid August 16 to 21 and authorities are planning on upwards of 2 million visitors in Madrid. The Catholic Pilgrim Office is advertising a variety of excursions that will visit Santiago, León and Burgos all in the week prior to Madrid. All of these will travel by bus and will be staying in hotels so their impact will be minor for walkers and bicyclists. But in addition it is a given that many in attendance will elect to combine World Youth Day with the Camino, whether before or after.
What is a Holy Year?
A Holy Year is any year when Saint James feast day, July 25th, falls on a Sunday. 2010 is a Holy Year and the next will not occur until 2021. Statistics issued by the cathedral show that the number of compostelas issued during Holy  Years has been several times the number issued during the preceding year — there was a 2.4-fold increase from 2003 to 2004, 2004 having been the last Holy Year.

How long does it take?
There is no simple answer to this question. Whether on foot or bicycle, how long your pilgrimage will take will depend on many variables, such as what kind of terrain you will be crossing, how long you want to travel each day, how many rest days you wish to take during the pilgrimage and, naturally, your physical abilities. The hilly countryside near Le Puy, France, may limit walkers to less than 20 kilometers per day, while the flat expanses of the Spanish meseta may allow some to walk 30 or more kilometers per day. You may choose to finish your day’s walk early in the afternoon, or you may prefer to continue walking until late in the day. The distance you travel in a day will depend on how you pace yourself and on how often you stop to rest, to visit cultural attractions and to talk to people along the road. You may wish to take a day off from time to time, or you may prefer to walk every day.
Most guidebooks for the various pilgrimage routes offer suggested itineraries. For the entire Camino francés, a distance of approximately 750 km (~450 mi), walkers commonly take about 35 days—perhaps with a range of from four to six weeks. Cyclists should count on about two weeks. Other examples would be for the Camino primitivo, 13 to 15 walking days from Oviedo to Santiago; for the French Chemin du Puy, 30 to 34 walking days from Le Puy to St.-Jean-Pied-de-Port.; and for the German Münchner Jakobsweg, 10 walking days from Munich to Lindau-Bregenz. Take your pick: the possibilities are nearly endless.
How difficult is it to walk the Camino?
This question will have a different answer from every peregrino who has ever walked the Road. The Camino is not a Himalayan expedition, but then it isn't a walk around the park either. The terrain from St. Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago will include crossing a lower portion of the Pyrenees, walking on farm roads through areas of rolling vineyards and across the meseta, the high, flat plains of Castilla-León, climbing and descending several mountain passes with altitudes up toward 5,000 ft (1,500 m) and finally the forested territory of Galicia. Weather will depend to a great extent on the season and can range from extremely hot and dry to very cold and wet to the Atlantic climate of Galicia. Preparation is an absolute prerequisite. It is one thing to take a hike of, say, 25 km. It is another matter to repeat this hike day after day for a month. Those who have had previous camping, backpacking or hiking experience will be a step ahead. Because there are support services all along the way—places to stay and eat—carrying a large pack is not at all necessary.
How easy is it to follow the Camino?
In Spain, especially on the Camino francés, the entire route is extremely well marked with yellow arrows. Sometimes these are crudely brushed onto a wall or post, sometimes they are 'formally' created signs. You will always encounter them at division points or intersections in the road or path. Following the Camino through the larger cities is probably the most problematical issue, as the arrows can tend to get lost in the clutter of other signs and sometimes you may walk straight ahead for many blocks after which there will be one arrow pointing left or right. Still, if you go astray, usually a 'local' will quickly straighten you out. And you can always use "¿Dónde va el Camino?" ("Where does the Camino go?") or something like that.
Are there guidebooks published?
Yes, there are many and you will want to have some reference with you for route-finding and for finding accommodations. Our sister organization, the Confraternity of Saint James in Great Britain publishes an extensive collection of guides. Most are updated every year using information from the previous year. Others may be found on the American Pilgrims' books page. And you can always use your favorite search engine for something like "camino guidebooks".
Are there alternatives to walking the Camino?
Yes, but traversing the Camino using muscle power one way or the other is a requirement for certain benefits. Today between 15 and 20% of peregrinos, for example, bicycle the route. In order to use the majority of albergues and in order to receive the compostela from the cathedral in Santiago, you must be either on foot or bicycle (or rarely, on horseback).
What information is available for cyclists?
At present the American Pilgrims' web site is oriented toward the walking pilgrim, but much of the information presented applies to cyclists as well. For more information directed specifically toward cyclists, you should consider joining the Yahoo special-interest group Santiago Bicicleta. The British Confraternity also has a useful booklet, The Cycling Pilgrim. Entering something like "camino santiago bicycle" (without the quotes) in your favorite search engine will produce a plethora of sites. See the cycling section on our Internet Resources page.
Is is possible to do the Camino on horseback?
Yes, although it will take some planning. The British Confraternity has a useful page with advice for horse riders and with further web site links. Thinking about using a burro? You might want to visit El Burro Peregrino (Spanish).
How to I return home?
Traveling from North America, you will probably have a trans-Atlantic airline ticket with a fixed return date as open return tickets can be extraordinarily expensive.
Usually this will dictate that the North American peregrino will have to allow a few days of grace time for walking or cycling in case the preplanned schedule can't be maintained. It also implies that getting from Santiago back to the city of departure to North America is a concern. Generally the advice is that as soon as it is clear when arrival in Santiago is going to occur and when departure from the same is known, a reservation should be secured. Visit our web links page for links to the sites of various air, train and bus services. Also, any travel agent can make these arrangements for you. Need the Santiago airport bus schedule? Click here!
The Pilgrim's Credential:
What is a credential or pilgrim's passport?
While walking the Camino de Santiago, pilgrims carry a credential (credencial), a small, folded document in which the pilgrim authenticates his or her progress by obtaining stamps (sellos) along the way. Sellos can be obtained from many sources including many bars, hotels, town halls, museums and churches and from all albergues.
The credential or 'passport', as it is sometimes called, is not to be confused with an official, government-issued passport. The former is strictly a record of passage along the Camino; the latter is a required document for international travel.
When registering at an albergue, you will be asked to present your credential to verify that you are walking or biking the Road. In addition, upon reaching Santiago de Compostela, at the Oficina de Acogida de Peregrinos (Pilgrims' Office, Rúa do Vilar 1, MapQuest map, Google Earth image), you can present your stamped credential to confirm that you have walked at least the last 100 kilometers or cycled at least the last 200 kilometers, whereupon you will receive a compostela, a wonderful document that certifies your pilgrimage. See the entry immediately below for more about the compostela.
Pilgrim credentials can be obtained from numerous sources—including from American Pilgrims—before setting out on the Camino, or from sites actually on the Camino.
What is the compostela?
In most cases peregrinos will be interested in obtaining the 'official' documentation for having completed the Camino whether or not they are walking the Camino for out and out religious reasons. The words used on the Archdiocese’s website are: "devotionis affectu, voti vel pietatis causa" - “the motivation being devotion, vow or piety”. This document is called the compostela and is a form in Latin issued by the Oficina de Acogida de Peregrinos (Pilgrims' Office, Rúa do Vilar 1, MapQuest map, Google Earth image) in Santiago, near the southeast corner of the cathedral). You can obtain your compostela by presenting yourself, some form of official identification (like your government-issued travel passport) and your completed pilgrim's credential (or pilgrim's passport. Don't be confused by the two types of 'passports'!) You must have documentation showing that you have walked at least the last contiguous 100 km (or cycled the last 200 km).
At the Oficina de Acogida de Peregrinos you will be asked your motivation for walking. Those who do not include "spiritual" in their reason for making the pilgrimage will be offered another document, a certificado, to commemorate their having completed the Camino.
 Where can I get stamps (sellos) for my credential?
Sellos can be obtained at most hotels and inns, restaurants and bars, churches, museums, city halls, police stations and at all albergues. If you're wondering what the sellos look like, you might check out the site Los Sellos del Camino (Spanish).
A note about sellos: Generally one sello per day is sufficient but the Pilgrims’ Office in Santiago advises that all pilgrims should obtain two per day during the final 100 km if on foot or the last 200 km if on bicycle. On the francés this would be Sarria (112 km) or Ponferrada (205 km) respectively. Please note that this applies even to pilgrims who have started outside the 100 and 200 km limits.
Some Practical Matters:
What should I take?
Obviously there will be numerous personal variables here and any 10 peregrinos will have 12 lists to offer. Such considerations as: How much weight am I capable of carrying or comfortable carrying for an extended period? How much experience do I have camping or backpacking? Just how clean to I really have to be? Do I have special needs or requirements, for example, serious, meaning 'heavy', photographic equipment? We can offer a few sample packing lists: Lynne Gilberg's, Glen Van Peski's and Ruth Potterton's. An additional suggestion: Take along at least a partial roll of toilet paper—and a plastic bag to carry the used paper until you can properly dispose of it! At some point along the way, you'll probably wish you had it.
 Where does one eat?
As with the vast infrastructure for overnight accommodations on the Caminos, the millennium-long tradition of support for pilgrims extends to eating. However as a peregrino, one of the first realizations that will dawn on you is that your daily cycle is quite out of sync with that of everyone else south of the Pyrenees. You will typically be arising about 6:00 a.m., wanting to eat about 7:00 in the evening and seriously thinking about bed by 9:00 or 10:00. This is all two to three hours ahead of the rest of Spain. Still there will likely be some bars or restaurants near albergues that will cater to the patterns of the peregrino. Some albergues will provide meals and some will have cooking facilities for self-catering. You will become an aficionado of the menú del peregrino (the pilgrim's menu). You will learn to savor the mid-morning café con leche.
Where does one stay at night?
Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela has been going on for more than a millennium and during that time
a strong tradition of support for peregrinos has developed. Through the Middle Ages this included hospices chartered and/or operated by kings and queens and religious orders. The tradition continues today in Spain in the form of refugios and albergues (the terms are interchangeable).
Until recent years, albergues were principally operated by municipalities, regional governments or religious organizations. Presently the number of privately-owned albergues is increasing rapidly. Still most operate in similar manners. Most have dormitory-type sleeping arrangements, usually two-tiered bunks and (sort of) communal bathing and toilet facilities. Some have a set price per night, in 2009 typically 6 to 10 euros, and some are donativo (donation). Some serve or organize meals. Some have cooking facilities available. Most open in the early- to mid-afternoon, require that you be on your way by 8:00 the next morning and only allow one night's stay. (Albergues operated by the Xunta de Galicia may allow a second night's stay on a space-available basis.) Some put restrictions of one kind or another on bicyclists and walkers who are using backpack transport. To stay, essentially all will require a credential showing evidence of being a 'true' walking or cycling peregrino.
Reservations generally cannot be made ahead in albergues. All that having been said, there is nothing to prevent the peregrino from staying in a 5-star hotel. In fact, many choose to stay in a hotel every so many nights (although probably only rarely the 5-star variety!). Most however quickly come to realize that one will meet the world in the albergues, not in the hotels! Also albergues have facilities that are more in tune with the peregrino lifestyle. There are several websites that maintain listings of albergues, among them caminodesantiago.me.uk and that of the Federación Española de Asociaciones de Amigos del Camino de Santiago.
What is the difference between a refugio and an albergue?
These terms both refer to overnight facilities available to walking or cycling pilgrims who have authenticated pilgrim credentials. The terms are interchangeable.
Is the Camino safe?
In a word, 'yes'. Like traveling anywhere in the world, prudence is in order, but it is probably safe to say that the Camino is a relatively benign environment. It is often said that one never walks alone on the Camino and that is quite the case on the Camino francés, perhaps less so on the less-traveled routes. It is probably generally a good idea to have a companion, especially in more remote stretches. Very little of the Camino is in larger cities. There are occasional reports of theft in albergues and of uninvited approaches on the road but again these are relatively rare. An event of any seriousness should be reported to local authorities and it would also be useful to post reports on Camino forums as soon as possible.
 What about those dangerous Camino dogs?
Generally speaking, dogs along the Camino have by now become completely inured to the existence of the odd parade of peregrinos passing along the road. Still there are places on all the routes where there are working herd dogs whose job it is to protect their charges and they may not be so benign. The possibility of meeting an unfriendly dog is one reason that most peregrinos carry a walking stick or staff.
You are strongly advised NOT to take your own dog, well-trained and friendly though he may be. Actually this would be nearly impossible traveling from North American anyway. Certified service dogs are a completely different story and you will have wide privileges concerning this in Europe. Several sources of information on regulations and requirements are:
• Asociación Española de Perros de Asistencia (Spanish, many broken links as of 1/29/10)
• The Embassy of Spain, Washington DC
• AngloInfo
• A forum thread on the topic (personal opinions but some potentially useful references and questions)
Concerning wild animals, there are are snakes, wolves and bears, not to mention spiders and scorpions. But common sense will usually keep you well separated from these. 
Can I have my pack transported?
Yes, although a service to support you over the entire route probably does not exist short of joining an organized tour. Be advised that some albergues may refuse you accommodation if they are aware that you are not actually carrying your own pack. Still in a few select stretches of the Camino francés over some of the higher and more arduous passes, the peregrino seems to be given a waiver from this restriction.
Can I have myself transported?
Again, yes. There is bus or train service along most of the Camino francés and it is actually quite common for peregrinos to use transport from time to time for various reasons. Perhaps a personal schedule restriction is looming, perhaps an injury is preventing walking, perhaps the weather has become untenable. In places where there is no bus or train service, usually a taxi can be arranged. Please note that this flexibility about using transport does not extend to using transport within the 100 km limit for obtaining the compostela (200 km if cycling) . This 100 km stretch must be completed on foot or horseback (200 km if cycling).
Can I mail a package ahead to myself?
Yes, and this is fairly common. Many do it after starting out to lighten their load; others may do it with aforethought, sending a package of 'city clothes' ahead to Santiago. The service in Spain, called lista de correos, is the same as poste restante or, in the U.S., general delivery. You can buy a box at the correos (post office). Packages are addressed:
Your name with your surname first and your surname in capital letters and underlined or boxed
LISTA DE CORREOS
Destination city with postal code and province (see below for some)
PLEASE NOTE: For the Holy Year, los Correos in Santiago have increased the hold time to 30 days. This will begin in May 2010 and will be in effect until the end of the year. As of 2011, they are back to holding parcels for only 14 days again. They are also offering bike transport directly from the post office. They sell bike boxes for 10 euro at the post office. For details, see the Correos Xacobeo site, xacobeo.correos.es (Spanish).
The Correos' policy is to hold a package for 14 days after which they will return it to the city of origin. That would be very bad news! You might write "PEREGRINO" boldly on the box and you might also add "Retener en lista de correos hasta el <day> de <month>" ("Hold until date" with the month spelled out in Spanish).
The lista de correos addresses of a few major cities along the Camino are:
Paseo Sarasate 9/31080 Pamplona (Navarra)
Paseo de Inmaculada 5/31200 Estella (Navarra)
Perez Caldo 44/26080 Logroño (La Rioja)
Plaza Conde de Castro 1/09080 Burgos (Burgos)
Jardines de San Francisco s/n/24080 León (León)
Calle General Vives 1/24400 Ponferrada (León)
Calle Calvo Sotelo 183/27600 Sarria (Lugo)
Orfas 17/15703 Santiago de Compostela (A Coruña)
You will need your passport for identification when retrieving your package.
Have a further question about mail service in Spain? Link to the Correos de España web site (click on "English" lower right corner).
By the way, the information for poste restante service in France can be found at the site for Discover France (English). Look for "General Delivery Service." We have seen advisements against sending packages from France (St.-Jean-Pied-de-Port for example) to lista de correos in Spain. Apparently the two systems don't recognize each other.
How can I keep in contact?
Ah, the problems that face the modern peregrino! Cyber cafes do exist although they are not to be found in every hamlet.  Where they do exist, they are usually very inexpensive. It is also possible to rent a cell phone or to purchase a cell phone in the U.S. that can be converted for non-U.S. use with the purchase of a different internal SIM card. Rick Steves has an excellent rundown on this vast and ever-changing topic. Another way to go is to simply purchase a phone card on arrival in Spain. The usual place to find an assortment of these in Spain is in an estanco (tobacco shop). Look for the yellow on brown sign. You will need to find a (land-line) telephone to use this card, but most bars seem to have a public telephone. Calling North America using these cards can be very inexpensive.
How can I obtain medical care?
You should have some form of medical insurance in place and you should determine how it will work for overseas treatment. It is not unusual that out of pocket payment with later reimbursement is required. Traveler's insurance might be something to consider. It is common that treatment for minor problems will be afforded the peregrino gratis by the Spanish medical system. For treatment of a minor, self-treatable ailment, speak to a pharmacist. Towns of sufficient size will have designated 24-hour pharmacies. For those who live within the European Union, having your European Health Insurance Card is a requirement to receive free emergency treatment.
What about money?
You will be using cash (euros) for the most part, not your credit cards. ATMs, where you can use a debit card to obtain cash, can be found at airports, in cities and in larger towns. Be sure that you have registered a PIN before you go and you should be aware that some systems will accept a four-digit PIN but not a six-digit one. Also you should notify your card-issuing companies of your travels before leaving.
The current exchange rate (cost of a euro in dollars) is displayed below in the graphic.
Will my rudimentary Spanish language skills serve me?
Sort of. The Camino has for more than millennium been an international phenomenon and it still is. Although English is the lingua franca in tourist areas, you will be traveling for the most part through rural Spain and you are going to encounter many people who speak only Spanish. Any Spanish skills you can carry with you will be of use and your attempts will certainly be appreciated. And your own experience will also be that much more rewarding. When with other peregrinos it is almost always possible to find some common language or at least to set up an informal translation chain. You will probably at least once find yourself speaking something other than English with a fellow Anglophone as you try to discover your common language!
What is typical day on the Road like?
If you are staying in an albergue—and this is highly recommended—your day will typically begin about 6:00 a.m., although the 'bag rustlers' may have been up and about since 5:00 or before. You may also have endured a professional caliber roncador (snorer) during the night. A lot of peregrinos use earplugs. Sometimes a breakfast will be available in the albergue, although usually not. Often you will be able to find something to eat nearby, but sometimes you may have to walk for an hour or more to find something open. Almost always this will be in a bar—Spanish bars serve a much wider purpose than they typically do in North America. Breakfast will typically be a café con leche - un grande, por favor - toast or bread, butter, jam and most likely fresh-squeezed orange juice.
Then you will walk. Or bicycle. Sometimes you'll travel alone, sometimes you'll find yourself traveling and talking with a complete stranger. You will learn to execute the 'language dance' wherein you determine the best common language between you. How late in the day you will walk will depend on many factors—your endurance, the weather, how many kilometers you want to cover, the spacing between towns. Many peregrinos stop for the day around 1:00 or 2:00 which is typically more or less when the albergues start registering for the night.
The albergues are where you will meet others on the Camino and this will become one of the most important memories of your experience. In the albergues a typical routine will be to claim a bed, dig some clean clothes out of your pack, take a shower, wash dirty clothes, take a siesta and then early in the evening find something to eat. In most of Spain eating in the evening before, say, 9:00 is very difficult—not to mention considered completely uncivilized! On the Camino it will generally be easier because there will be restaurants and bars catering to the daily cycle of the peregrinos. Then you will crash for the night, quietly praying to yourself that that guy next to you isn't one of the roncadores profesionales. Then you will get up and do it all over again!
 How can I become a volunteer hospitalero (albergue host)?
Serving as a volunteer hospitalero is the ultimate way to give back to the Camino. Those who have gone on from walking or cycling the Camino to serving as an hospitalero say that this experience is if anything even more rewarding than the Camino itself. As one of its services in support of the Camino, American Pilgrims offers hospitalero training, always in conjunction with its Annual Gathering of Pilgrims and usually some other point as well. Please visit our National Gatherings page for information about the next Gathering or for further information on becoming an hospitalero, visit our Hospitaleros page.
Odds and ends
Electricity: Spain, like essentially all of Europe, provides 230V, 50Hz electricity (North America is 120V, 60Hz) and they have outlets that are incompatible with standard North American plugs. A very useful website is the World Electrical Guide - scroll down to Spain and click on the two image links, C and F. So you will definitely need an adapter to accommodate your two-bladed plugs to their two-round hole outlets. (Pay attention to the presence or absence of the third, round grounding prong. Be sure that everything will plug together.) You may or may not need a voltage converter as these days most small electronic devices are compatible for both 120V and 230V. Look carefully at the device's electrical information label. A helpful hint: In albergues electrical outlets are at a premium! Take along an electrical cube in addition to your adapter so when you do manage to commander an outlet, you can plug in everything that needs rejuvenating. And again, pay attention to that grounding prong!
