Camino de Santiago- Camino Francés

This trail is the most popular because this is the natural route from France. This route has a distance of 775 kilometres and it takes 31 days to go to Santiago. This route has a lot of infrastructure and conveniences. The local population lives by and for the route. Mainly, the "albergues" or hostels are very important .

If you are thinking about doing the "Camino de Santiago" the first time, "French route" is probably the better option.

In the most of the villages where the route passes you can sleep for free and you can buy your lunch; sandwiches or other kinds of food are very cheap. The normal places where you can pass the night are in churches or local sports pavilions. In some villages or towns, there isn't enough room to receive pilgrims, then some local businesses like hotels or hostels are private, but don't worry. The price is very cheap, only 10 € per night. Sometimes you must pay to sleep in municipal hostels or "albergues", between 3 and 7 euros.

This route, like the rest of the routes, is very long. then you can start in the beginning. The first day you can start in France, then you must cross the Pyrinees to Roncesvalles in Spain. You could join other pilgrims and maybe you can make good friends every day.

The motivations to do the "Camino" are very different. The first and oldest is as pilgrimage to the Santiago's Cathedral and to kiss the Saint's feet.

Another reason is as tourism. It's a different kind of tourism and establishes some kind of relationship with the local population and other pilgrims.

I consider the third reason is athletic. In the last years, in Spain has began a trend, this is to do hiking, so a lot of pilgrims aren't true pilgrims but sportsmen, then they see the "Camino" as a challenge.

In any case, whoever does this route feels something in their soul. Most people think that they find themselves. The most religious people think it is a meeting with God. This occurs because most of the time you walk alone, only you and the countryside. When the people who do the "Camino" return to their houses, they feel a change in their lives. They see life in a different way.

Most of these pilgrims begin another route to Santiago because the route calls to them. I know a friend of mine who spends his vacation time doing the various routes inside Spain.

Good job!!!!
