For centuries pilgrims have been walking across Spain, stepping out an 800km journey from the Pyrenean hamlet of Roncesvalles to the west coast city of Santiago de Compostela, where the bones of the apostle James are interred in the Santiago Cathedral. The Camino de Santiago is arguably the world's most famous Christian pilgrimage, attracting about 180,000 visitors a year, but it is not limited to walkers; Camino regulations also permit the journey to be made by bicycle.
