Following the ancient pilgrimage path, the last stage of EuroVelo 3 - Pilgrims Route finally brings you to the edge of the Iberian Peninsula, with the end point overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on Spain’s western coast. A mandatory stop on the way is Santiago de Compostela, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Camino Francés, or French Way, is the most popular of the routes of the Way of St. James (Camino de Santiago), the ancient pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela and Fisterra in Galicia. From Roncesvalles on the Spanish side of the Pyrenees, you cycle 870 km on to Santiago de Compostela, through the major cities of Pamplona, Logroño, Burgos and León, and a final 90 km to Cape Finisterre. Follow in the footsteps of ancient and contemporary pilgrims in this stage of EuroVelo 3.
