Walking the Camino de Santiago can be a very interesting experience. Ever since watching the film "The Way", saying that it is a personal journey, and walking it is of great significance. Every year, thousands of travellers/pilgrims have walked the Camino to the Atlantic for over a thousand years. Many travel in groups, many others walk it alone.
Traveling through the French Way is one of the most popular of the routes. Starting from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port (France) to Roncesvalles (Spain) and therefore making its way to Santiago Compostela through the major cities Pamplona, Logroño, Burgos and León.
Adding to those walking the Camino religious reasons, there are many who walk the route for travel, sport, or simply the challenge of weeks of walking in a foreign land. Many consider the experience a spiritual adventure to remove themselves from the bustle of modern life. It serves as a retreat for many modern "pilgrims".
You don't choose a life, you live one.
