The Camino de Santiago is popular because it combines historical significance, spiritual exploration, scenic beauty, and a sense of community into a transformative journey. Unlike typical tourist destinations, you won't find any Holiday Inns or chain hotels along the route. Instead, the accommodations nestled in quaint villages exude a unique appeal that captivates travelers. Walking from village to village, without being whisked away from the Camino, allows you to tread the same path as countless pilgrims before you, spanning centuries back to the Middle Ages.
