Camino Francés
The Camino Francés is the principal route of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, crossing the Pyrenees at Roncesvalles and running through Pamplona, Puente la Reina, Burgos and León to Galicia. It developed from the eleventh century with the support of the kings of Navarre and Castile, who settled Frankish traders along it. Part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it remains one of Europe's most travelled pilgrim roads.
