In that case, you'll be looking at around €15 a night for accommodation, and €20 a day for food. The Francés route, or the French Way, is one of the most well-known pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Spanning approximately 780 kilometers (485 miles), it usually takes pilgrims around 30-35 days to complete. The route starts in the French town of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, crosses the Pyrenees, and passes through various A popular option for those who can't take a whole month out of their normal lives to walk a full Camino route is walking the final stage of one of the routes - the last 100km into Santiago de Compostella. Walking the last 100km (62 miles) of a Camino trail makes you eligible to receive your Pilgrim Certificate (Compostela). If you intend to cycle the Camino, you should be comfortable cycling 100km per day. If you do not currently enjoy a reasonable level of fitness, it may take many months of training to reach a suitable level of fitness to enjoy the Camino. It is essential to start slowly and gradually increase your fitness. Try to exercise for between 30 and 45 36ppSGC.
