Saint‑Jean‑Pied‑de‑Port: Gateway through the Pyrenees into Spain.
Puente la Reina: Famous medieval bridge graced by pilgrims since the 11th century.
San Juan de Ortega: Historic Romanesque monastery and spiritual resting point.
Sarria: The last starting point for the 100 km required to earn the Compostela certificate.
