I will be traveling the Camino de Santiago, a Christian pilgrimage leading to the shrine of the apostle Saint James the Greater, located in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. However, there are a number of different pilgrimage routes leading to the cathedral. Some of the more common ones start in Spain, France or Portugal. Has anyone on here biked the Camino de Santiago? If so, do you have a recommendation on which route to take? Anyone else have any recommendations specific to this type of bike tour?
