The Camino de Santiago stretches nearly 800 kilometres (500 miles) from St. Jean-Pied-du-Port near Biarritz in France to Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain. The route includes the major cities of Pamplona, Burgos and León, the large towns of Logroño in the Rioja, Astorga, and Ponferrada, and hosts of interesting smaller places along the way. It is very varied terrain from crossing over the Pyrenees at over 1500 metres, to the flat, hot plains of the central section.
We are planning to complete a minimum of 25km per day, other than the days crossing the Pyrenees, these will certainly take a little longer!
It's twice the length of Ireland!!! Don't say I didn't tell you....
