The Complete Traditional Way of Saint James

Probably the best way to discover the north of Spain. The trip starts in the Pyrenees surrounded by mountains and deep forests, continue looking south west towards the well known Rioja wineries where Romans developed the art of making wine. After Rioja, Castile with its endless growing fields of cereal and sunflowers greet us when passing. The Romanesque and religious expressions have their great moment going up hill over the mountains of Leon, and achieving the “Iron Cross” as a maximum for the pilgrims.
