This website was started in 2002 with 32 pages on the Camino Francés with English capitons. Since then it has grown in size and scope every year. It now has over 500 pages, with a total of nearly 5,000 pictures. These pages give day-by-day descriptions of 8 Caminos, nearly all of them in both English and Spanish, and some of them in up to 6 other languages.

Camino Frances by Salvador Miranda
After many years of dreaming about doing the Camino de Santiago, during the second half of September 2003 I was finally able to realize the trip I had been planning to the utmost detail with enormous enthusiasm: to bike the Camino Francés from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela with a mountain bike, following the ancient pilgrims' path.

Via de la Plata by Salvador Miranda
Salvador invites you to a new experience: to accompany him on a virtual journey through this ancient path, whose origins go back as far back as prehistoric times. It was fully developed by the Roman engineers at the dawn of our Age, who used it to Romanize the Iberian peninsula.
