Camino de Santiago: Alternatives to the Camino Frances

By , About.com Guide

Where should you start the Camino de Santiago? If you want to be truly authentic, you should start from home! That's what the original pilgrims would have done - they didn't have the luxury of airplanes and trains to get them to the beginning.

For this reason there are nearly as many routes as there are pilgrims. You can start from wherever is convenient for you. However, some routes are more traveled than others - find out about the various routes below.
