The Camino Frances starts in France in St Jean Pied de Port and reaches Santiago in nearly 40 days!

This section in Galicia is emblematic of the Camino with its Celtic culture! You will enjoy walking on rural dirt paths called corredoiras lined with chesnut trees and oaks, medieval stone bridges and churches with stopovers in aldeas (hamlets).
