Camino de Santiago to Santiago (French Way)
Travel the most preferred self-guided walking section on the Camino de Santiago route. This is one of the most beautiful and rewarding parts of the Camino, perfect for those eager to experience a portion of the route. From Sierra, the Camino passes through forests, farms and villages revealing the authentic charm of Spain and the Galicia province. Explore the peculiar horreos, the many local pillar-raised granaries you will encounter along the way. Tasting local food is also an eminent part of the journey, so do not miss to try the local octopus dishes. The final point of this section of the Camino is the final destination of the whole route itself – the city of Santiago de Compostela. The Camino trail is very well-marked with the famous Scallop Shell symbol. A good level of fitness is required for this tour, yet you will be rewarded with the exploration of numerous heritage sites along the way.
