   • Camino de Santiago. When you visit Santiago there’s a good chance that some of the people on the streets have walked a very long way to be here. The Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James) is a Europe-wide network of trails that converge at Roncesvalles and Jaca near the Spanish border and then continue the 800 km route west through northern Spain to Santiago.
   • Catedral de Santiago de Compostela. And this is what those pilgrims walk those hundreds of miles for. This is where they say St. James is buried. It’s a supreme piece of Romanesque architecture and one of Spain’s most iconic buildings.
   • Pórtico de la Gloria. An attraction of its own, this is the cathedral’s main gate. You may find yourself staring at this incredible portal, mouth agape for a very long time.
   • Praza do Obradoiro. This vast square is ruled by the cathedral’s spellbinding baroque facade, and as you look around you’ll see masterworks spanning 700 years of the city’s history up to the 18th-century.

   • Camino Francés. The classic: long and extremely popular. The route with the richest tradition, still followed by more people than all other caminos combined: the Camino Francés (French Way) starts at St-Jean-Pied-de-Port on the French side of the Pyrenees and crosses about 770km/478mi (around five weeks on foot) of northern Spain en route to Santiago de Compostela.
   • Camino Portugués. A route for everyone. The Portuguese Way, second-busiest of the Caminos de Santiago, runs more than 600km (373mi) from Lisbon to Santiago (about 3½ weeks), but the most popular starting points are the enticing city of Porto in northern Portugal (some 240km/149mi from Santiago, about 10 days) and Tui, where the route enters Spain (115km/71mi).
   • Camino del Norte. Five weeks near Spain’s surprising north coast. Traveled by around 20,000 people a year, the Northern Way parallels Spain’s north coast for over 600km/373mi from Irún on the French border to Ribadeo, then heads inland across Galicia to Santiago de Compostela.
   • Camino Primitivo. Two weeks of gorgeous green countryside; relatively tough. The Camino Primitivo (Original Way), some 320km/199mi long, follows the footsteps of the first recorded pilgrimage to St James’ tomb – made by King Alfonso II of Asturias from Oviedo in the 820s.
