When to start:
The Camino Argonnes is a route that runs through the north of the Iberian Peninsula from the Somfort Pass in the Pyrenees as an alternative to the start of the French Camino. The route continues through Huesca until it joins the French road through Puente de la Reina.
The road itself passes along six stages through beautiful landscapes, towns and villages full of history and heritage, for 170 kilometers (until the integration with the French Camino)
The Camino is first and foremost a journey, a journey that is both for body and soul. Similar to a trip or a regular vacation, the Camino allows a detachment from everyday life, but the essential difference is that on a classic vacation you usually do not go through a continuous process of journey towards a destination that is both physical (Santiago de Compostela) and internal to ourselves. The beauty of the Camino is its great diversity, which is an important part of the journey itself - along the way you will meet changing landscapes and people from all corners of the world who make up the Camino de Santiago. It's an amazing opportunity to meet new people whose differences of age, nationality or opinions don't prevent getting to know and connect with each other. Although historically the Camino is a pilgrimage for religious reasons, today the vast majority of Camino walkers do not come for religious reasons. Most people come to go through a spiritual, physical, or cultural process, so differences in religion, race, or gender have no reason to stop you from starting it.
