Walk the most storied pilgrimage in Europe — 780 kilometres from the French Pyrenees to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Across the Meseta, through Rioja vineyards, past Templar castles, and into the green hills of Galicia, each stage carries a thousand years of devotion, legend, and human endurance.
