Following the ancient pilgrimage path, the last stage of EuroVelo 3 - Pilgrims Route finally brings you to the edge of the Iberian Peninsula, with the end point overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on Spain’s western coast. A mandatory stop on the way is Santiago de Compostela, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Camino Francés, or French Way, is the most popular of the routes of the Way of St. James (Camino de Santiago), the ancient pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela and Fisterra in Galicia. From Roncesvalles on the Spanish side of the Pyrenees, you cycle 870 km on to Santiago de Compostela, through the major cities of Pamplona, Logroño, Burgos and León, and a final 90 km to Cape Finisterre. Follow in the footsteps of ancient and contemporary pilgrims in this stage of EuroVelo 3.

Development status
  • Certified These sections were awarded the official EuroVelo Certification label, ensuring high-quality cycling conditions.They were surveyed in the field by EuroVelo Route Inspectors to respect minimum requirements for motorised traffic levels, surface quality, EuroVelo signage, and access to services as defined by the European Certification Standard (ECS) methodology. EuroVelo Certified routes are the best options for beginners!
  • Developed + Signed These sections offer generally good cycling conditions, with limited motorised traffic, rideable surfaces, and EuroVelo signs along the route. Developed routes with signs are suitable for most cyclists. However, short stretches with lower-quality conditions may occur, and it is recommended to bring a map or navigation app as signs can have defects.
  • Developed + Not Signed These sections offer generally good cycling conditions, with limited motorised traffic and rideable surfaces, but without EuroVelo signs. Developed routes without signs are suitable for most cyclists. However, short stretches with lower-quality conditions may occur, and it is warmly recommended to bring a map or navigation app.
  • Partially Developed + Signed Cycling is possible here, but conditions vary. Some stretches may have high motorised traffic or poor surfaces, even though EuroVelo signs are in place. Partially developed routes with signs are suitable for experienced cyclists only, and it is recommended to bring a map or navigation app and check national/regional websites for more information. ECF and National EuroVelo Coordination Centres are working on improvements.
