El Camino de Santiago Pilgrims Podcast

After walking the Camino Frances, Camino Ingles and Camino del Norte I was lucky enough to be featured on the El Camino de Santiago Pilgrims Podcast recently. 

Alto de Perdon
Camino Frances

The Camino Frances is an 800km walk from Saint Jean Pied de Port in France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

Camino Ingles

The Camino Ingles is the quieter secluded sibling to the other more popular camino's but thoroughly enjoyable.

Pasajes San Juan
Camino Del Norte

The Camino Del Norte Starts in Irun and skirts the northern coast of Spain through San Sebastian, Bilbao & Santander.

Camino Finisterre

100km from Santiago de Compostela which takes approx 3 days and is a lovely quiet walk to the "End of the World"
