As we have said many times, each route is unique and has its own charm. Thus, it is very difficult to compare the different paths and choose among them. For this reason, at\u00a0Galiwonders\u00a0we have created a list of\u00a0the 10 most charming cities on the Way of St. James, indicating which route they belong to.

The great beauty of these places often leaves them speechless. What a great surprise when, after a long day of walk, you arrive at a charming town! Immediately, you recover the energy needed to enjoy this unexpected and pleasant visit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition, the possibility of crossing the Iberian Peninsula while walking the different routes of the Camino, is one of the best ways\u00a0to get to know the country and visit it at your own pace. Let&#8217;s discover the 10 cities that we believe have a particular charm and that will leave you a wonderful souvenir.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #3a3a3c;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Barcelos-on-the-Portuguese-Way\"><\/span>Barcelos on the Portuguese Way<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We start our list by a city in the\u00a0north of Portugal, Barcelos, along\u00a0<a style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); line-height: var( --e-global-typography-text-line-height );\" href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/camino-de-santiago\/portuguese-way\/\" rel=\"noopener\">the Portuguese Way from O Porto<\/a>. Famous for the\u00a0legend of the cock, symbol of the Portuguese country, this city has a strong relationship with the Way of Saint James. According to this medieval legend, in fact, a dead rooster would have saved the life of a pilgrim accused of theft and condemned to be hanged. To prove the pilgrim&#8217;s innocence, the rooster (already roasted) would have stood up in front of the judge who had condemned the pilgrim, and started to crow. Amazed by this miracle, the judge released the pilgrim.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Barcelos, you will have a lot to visit, starting with the\u00a0Medieval Bridge, built in the 14th century, to facilitate the access to the city. In the gardens in front of the\u00a0Church\u00a0dedicated to\u00a0Santa Maria Mayor, we find Portugal&#8217;s most famous pillory, the 16th century\u00a0Pelourinho de Barcelos. At the highest point of this square you can walk through the current\u00a0Archaeological Museum of Barcelos\u00a0where you can find the ruins of the\u00a0Palace of the Counts of Barcelos, an old castle partly destroyed by the earthquake of 1755. Among the other places of interest in this city we recommend the Cruceiro do Senhor do Gallo, the Town Hall, Largo de Porta Nova, the Baroque Garden, the Bom Jesus da Cruz Temple and Campo da Rep\u00fablica.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; color: #3a3a3c; text-align: justify;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-10-19-at-16.27.37-1-min-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"10 pueblos con m\u00e1s encanto en el Camino de Santiago\" width=\"489\" height=\"652\" \/><\/h2>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"131031\" class=\"elementor elementor-131031\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3d2d723a elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3d2d723a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7ea154ff\" data-id=\"7ea154ff\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2d451f13 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2d451f13\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-229db094\" data-id=\"229db094\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78515af2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"78515af2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO PRACTICAL GUIDE<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bc84fe5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5bc84fe5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">FREE DOWNLOAD<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2204a581 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2204a581\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Subscribe to our newsletter and receive our FREE Practical Guide to the Camino de Santiago.

<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/camino-de-santiago\/portuguese-coastal\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Portuguese Coastal Route<\/a><\/strong>. South of the R\u00edas Baixas, in the Province of Pontevedra, Baiona has a lot to offer to the pilgrims who end here their stage. The <strong>Fortaleza de Monterreal<\/strong>, today the <strong>Parador of Baiona<\/strong>, can be walked along its 3 km of wall and offers truly spectacular views. In the distance you can even admire the Cies Islands!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Walking through the old town, declared a <strong>Historic-Artistic Site<\/strong>, you will be able to see the excellent state of conservation of the buildings in the center. If you like history, you can visit the replica of the <strong>Carabella Pinta<\/strong> that docked here on March 1, 1493. This famous boat reported on one of the most important events in history, <strong>the Discovery of America.<\/strong> To enjoy the best views, we also advise you to climb the <strong>Virxe de la Roca<\/strong>, a 15-meter monument, which is located at an altitude of 100 meters above the sea level. In your visit to Baiona, you can also cross the <strong>Ramallosa Bridge<\/strong>, (symbol of fertility according to legend) and live the spirit of the <strong>Arribada festivals<\/strong>. Don&#8217;t forget to rest on the beautiful beaches of the area!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Azul-Blanco-Mapa-Avio\u0301n-Despedida-Postal-5-min-1024x791.jpg\" alt=\"10 pueblos con encanto camino de santiago galiwonders\" width=\"542\" height=\"419\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Carrion-de-los-Condes-on-the-French-Way\"><\/span>Carri\u00f3n de los Condes on the French Way<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the middle of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/camino-de-santiago\/frances\/from-st-jean\/\" rel=\"noopener\">the French Way<\/a><\/strong>, you&#8217;ll find the town of <strong>Carri\u00f3n de los Condes <\/strong>which, in medieval times, was an important political, religious, cultural and socio-economic site. A legend tells that <strong>during the Napoleonic invasion of 1811<\/strong>, to ensure them a respectful treatment by the French soldiers, the nuns of the Monastery of Santa Clara would have received the invaders offering them <strong>chocolate with biscuits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Carri\u00f3n de los Condes, we suggest you to visit the XVI century <strong>Renaissance Cloister<\/strong>, the <strong>Church of Santiago<\/strong>, a Historic-Artistic Monument since 1931 and <strong>Museum of Sacred Art<\/strong>, <strong>the Church of Santa Mar\u00eda de las Victorias y del Camino<\/strong>, also a historic-artistic monument since 1991 and <strong>the Monastery of San Zoilo<\/strong>, founded in the XII century. Furthermore, <strong>the Tower of the Church of San Andr\u00e9s de los Condes, the Church of San Juli\u00e1n and the Monastery of Santa Clara<\/strong> are worth a visit. Moreover, it was here that the most important Jewish neighborhood of Palencia (aljama) was found. Without a doubt, you will not have time to get bored with so many monuments and churches.

Declared a <strong>World Heritage Site in 2000<\/strong>, it is twinned with the Great Wall of China. Among the most interesting places in Lugo, we find the 12th century <strong>Cathedral<\/strong>, in Romanesque style, the Casa Museo de la Mitra, the Plaza de Santa Mar\u00eda, the Plaza Mayor and the City Hall of Lugo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This city is famous for its tapas, its lively nightlife in the old town and its <strong>exquisite gastronomy<\/strong>. Take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy the typical traditional dishes of Galician cuisine while strolling through the beautiful streets of downtown Lugo. This city represents the starting point of the last 100 km of the Primitive Way, but if you have more time, remember that you can <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/camino-de-santiago\/primitivo\/from-oviedo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">start your route in Oviedo.<\/a><\/strong> This was the original staring point of the very first camino to Santiago de Compostela.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/EL-CAMINO-PORTUGUE\u0301S-DESDE-VALENC\u0327A-8-min-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"583\" height=\"437\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Betanzos-on-the-English-Way\"><\/span>Betanzos on the English Way<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are looking for a quieter route (without being too isolated), and with great sceneries, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/camino-de-santiago\/ingles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the English Way<\/a><\/strong> is the perfect option to reach Santiago. On this Way you will get to know the beautiful town of <strong>Betanzos<\/strong>, where you will arrive on your second stage from Ferrol. Its historical center, declared a <strong>Historic-Artistic Site<\/strong>, will surprise you with its great heritage value. In fact, many consider Betanzos one of the most beautiful cities in the province of A Coru\u00f1a. In this city, which was one of the <strong>capitals of the Old Kingdom of Galicia<\/strong>, the Knights had a great importance in the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In your visit to the city do not miss: the Plaza Hermanos Garc\u00eda Naveira, where we find the <strong>Fountain of Diana Cazadora<\/strong> (a copy of the sculpture &#8220;Diana of Versailles&#8221; exhibited in the Louvre Museum), the Convent of the Augustinian Recollects, the Bridge of the Vella, the Gates of the City (remains of the old medieval wall), the Plaza de Fern\u00e1n P\u00e9rez de Andrade. Here, you will find the church of San Francisco, the Plaza de la Constituci\u00f3n and the church of Santa Mar\u00eda de Azogue. In Betanzos you can also visit the first theme park, the <strong>Parque del Pasatiempo<\/strong>, which was born as an encyclopedic park in the 20th century. To make the most of your stay in Betanzos, don&#8217;t forget to try its <strong>famous tortilla<\/strong> and accompany it with<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/camino-de-santiago-experiences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> a glass of one of the excellent Galician wines.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/EL-CAMINO-PORTUGUE\u0301S-DESDE-VALENC\u0327A-6-min-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"579\" height=\"434\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Castro-Urdiales-on-the-Northern-Way\"><\/span>Castro Urdiales on the Northern Way<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the most touristic places in Cantabria, on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/camino-de-santiago\/norte\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Northern Way<\/a><\/strong>, is the town of Roman origins called <strong>Castro Urdiales<\/strong>. This town has a great historical past that can still be relived by walking through the streets of the old town. Its importance as a fishing and commercial port was central from the twelfth century. Today you can still admire the picturesque port of Castro Urdiales and the charm it maintained over time. On a rocky promontory overlooking the port are the main monuments of the city: the <strong>Church of Santa Maria de la Asuncion<\/strong> (13th century), the <strong>ruins of the Romanesque Chapel of San Pedro<\/strong>, the <strong>Castle<\/strong> which also serves as a lighthouse since 1853 and the <strong>Medieval Bridge<\/strong>, also called the Roman Bridge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another place that will allow you to observe the bay and the port is the <strong>Ermita de Santa Ana<\/strong>. We invite you to discover the historical center and its streets, the <strong>Town Hall<\/strong>, visit the gardens of the <strong>Ochar\u00e1n Castl<\/strong>e and enjoy the <strong>beach of Brazomar,<\/strong>\u00a0perfect place to rest before your next stage.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/EL-CAMINO-PORTUGUE\u0301S-DESDE-VALENC\u0327A-5-min-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"10 pueblos con encanto en el Camino de Santiago\" width=\"575\" height=\"431\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Monforte-de-Lemos-on-the-Winter-Way\"><\/span>Monforte de Lemos on the Winter Way<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the heart of the <strong>Ribeira Sacra<\/strong>, you will find <strong>Monforte de Lemos,<\/strong> in the middle of<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/camino-de-santiago\/winter-way\/last-100-km-from-monforte\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> the Winter Way<\/a><\/strong>. We remind you that the last 100 km of this route start from Monforte but you can walk the complete <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/camino-de-santiago\/winter-way\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Winter Way starting in Ponferrada<\/a><\/strong> if you have more time. Nowadays, the city of Monforte is known for its relevance in the <strong>wine sector<\/strong>, since the Centro del Vino Ribeira Sacra is located here (in a building that was a hospital). However, in addition to its wine tradition, this city has a great medieval past that can still be admired in its historical setting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Roman origin of the city is found in the <strong>Monte de San Vicente<\/strong>, where you can visit what was a real fortress city, with a castle and a wall with towers: the<strong> Monumental Site of San Vicente del Pino<\/strong>. This defensive complex is made up of the <strong>Homenaje Tower<\/strong> (30 meters high), the <strong>Condal Palace<\/strong> and the <strong>Benedictine Monastery<\/strong>. Here you will find the actual <strong>Parador de Monforte<\/strong>, a magical place where you can stay on your Luxury Way. If you have time to visit something else during your stay, we recommend: the Convento de las Franciscanas Descalzas o de las Clarisas one of the most important Museums of Sacred Art in Spain, the Medieval Bridge and the Colegio de Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Antigua, better known as Los Escolapios.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/EL-CAMINO-PORTUGUE\u0301S-DESDE-VALENC\u0327A-7-min-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"562\" height=\"421\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Muxia-on-the-Camino-to-Finisterre-Muxia\"><\/span>Mux\u00eda on the Camino to Finisterre- Mux\u00eda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the extraordinary Costa de la Morte, you will arrive at the charming village of <strong>Mux\u00eda<\/strong> at the end of the only route that does not end in Santiago de Compostela, but starts from there, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/camino-de-santiago\/finisterre-way\/santiago-to-muxia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Finisterre-Mux\u00eda Way<\/a><\/strong>. Very close to this place is the <strong>most western point of Galicia<\/strong> (and also of peninsular Spain), <strong>Cape Touri\u00f1an. <\/strong>This is\u00a0an incredible place to enjoy the sunset, especially between March and September.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the tradition, it was right in Mux\u00eda that the <strong>Virgin Mary<\/strong> arrived in a stone boat, to cheer up the Apostle, as his journey finished here. In her honor, the <strong>Sanctuary of Virxe da Barca<\/strong> was built. This Sanctuary suffered several reconstructions over the years, as a result of the strong maritime storms to which it was exposed and also because of a devastating fire. If you walk around the Sanctuary you will see that there are different <strong>stones<\/strong> surrounding it. These stones have a special <strong>meaning<\/strong> <strong>linked to the arrival of the Virgin<\/strong> to this place. In fact, they represent the <strong>remains of the stone boat<\/strong> in which the Virgin Mary would have arrived to Mux\u00eda. Among the monuments worth visiting, we recommend the Romanesque churches in the area, such as Santa Leocadia de Frixe, San Marti\u00f1o de Oz\u00f3n, Santa Mar\u00eda or Santo Cristovo de Nemi\u00f1a. You will also like something more modern: the mural of the &#8220;Ninja Lady&#8221; which represents the great strength and courage of the Galician women.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/EL-CAMINO-PORTUGUE\u0301S-DESDE-VALENC\u0327A-9-min-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"10 pueblos con encanto en el Camino de Santiago\" width=\"583\" height=\"437\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Caceres-on-the-Via-de-la-Plata\"><\/span>C\u00e1ceres on the Via de la Plata<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>C\u00e1ceres<\/strong>, also of Roman origin, is a city <strong>declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO<\/strong>. It is located on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/en\/camino-de-santiago\/via-de-la-plata\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Via de la Plata<\/a><\/strong> and will surprise you with its rich medieval heritage. On the highest promontory of the city, you will find the old town, defined by brown and ochre stones, in contrast with the more modern area in the lower part. Much of the charm of this town is due to the palaces and large houses built by the nobles. In this way they wanted to demonstrate the wealth acquired from their travels of conquest in America.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ideal place to start your visit is the <strong>Plaza Mayor<\/strong>, the real center of the historic town of Caceres. Here are located the <strong>Town Hall<\/strong>, the <strong>Towers de la\u00a0Hierba and de los P\u00falpitos<\/strong>, the imposing <strong>Tower of Bujaco<\/strong>, and the <strong>Ermita de la Paz<\/strong>. In the medieval wall of the city, the <strong>Arch of the Star<\/strong> (18th century) stands out. From here you can enter the <strong>Plaza de Santa Mar\u00eda<\/strong>, one of the most important squares in C\u00e1ceres, where the <strong>Concathedral of C\u00e1ceres<\/strong> is located (XV- XVI century). If you want to enjoy the best views over the city we recommend you to go up to the <strong>Belfry<\/strong>. Next to this square, you will find the Plaza de los Golfines where one of the most beautiful buildings in the city, the <strong>Palacio de los Golfines de Abajo<\/strong>, is located. The other places worth visiting are: Plaza de San Jorge with the Church of San Francisco Javier, Plaza de las Veletas where you can visit the Museum of C\u00e1ceres and the <strong>Palacio de las Cig\u00fce\u00f1as<\/strong> with its famous Stork Tower.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/EL-CAMINO-PORTUGUE\u0301S-DESDE-VALENC\u0327A-10-min-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"10 charming cities on the Camino de Santiago\" width=\"611\" height=\"458\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comillas-on-the-Lebaniego-Way\"><\/span>Comillas on the Lebaniego Way<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We finish our list of the 10 charming cities on the Camino de Santiago with the beautiful village of <strong>Comillas<\/strong>, on <strong>the Lebaniego Way<\/strong>. This is one of the least known Jacobean routes. However, this Camino has a special charm as all the other pilgrimage routes. In Comillas there are some buildings of incredible beauty like the<strong> Sobrellano Palace<\/strong>, next to which the <strong>Sobrellano Pantheon Chapel<\/strong> was built (conceived as a small cathedral) and the <strong>Capricho de Gaud\u00ed<\/strong> (Villa Quijano), one of the few works that the artist built outside of Catalonia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During your visit to the beautiful town of Comillas, you will also be able to discover other interesting places by walking around the old town. For example, the <strong>Fountain of the Three Spouts<\/strong> from 1889, which is located in the square with the same name, the <strong>Town Hall<\/strong> or the <strong>Casa Ocejo<\/strong>. In Comillas there is also a <strong>gothic cemetery<\/strong>, considered by many to be the most beautiful in Spain. No doubt its impressive views on the ocean contributed to its fame! At the top of the hill you can also visit the <strong>Pontifical University<\/strong> in neo-Gothic-Mudejar style with modernist elements. Enjoy this charming village before your next stage.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galiwonders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Comillas_-_Cantabria-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"606\" height=\"404\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So far our recommendations on the charming cities on the Camino de Santiago.
