Start // The full Camino Francés route of the Camino de Santiago starts in Saint-

Jean-Pied-de-Port, but you can start walking anywhere along the way.

End // Santiago de Compostela

Distance // 491 miles (790km)

Duration // 30–34 days

Getting there // The nearest airport to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port is Biarritz. The

nearest airport to Santiago de Compostela is 8.7 miles (14km) east of the city

centre.

Things to know // The route is waymarked with yellow arrows. Register at the

pilgrim’s office in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to get a credencial (pilgrim’s passport),

stamped at each albergue (hostel) on route. You must walk at least the final 62

miles (100km) to Santiago to earn the compostela, a certificate of having

completed the pilgrimage.
