764 km make up this route, so there will be many landscapes that you will be able to see during the pilgrimage, among them are: the Meseta, before arriving in Burgos, the Romanesque bridge of Puente la Reina, the Cathedrals of León and Burgos…

The French Way is the best known route in the world due to its relevance during Medieval Europe. Two factors influenced its development: its connection with the rest of Europe and its appearance in the form of a Guide in the Codex Calixtinus. Another curiosity is that of Father Elías Valiña who, using paint left over from some lorry drivers, marked the route of the French Way with the yellow signs so characteristic of the Jacobean route nowadays.
