Camino Photo of the Day: Required Shot

This is the photo that everybody takes. We are standing at the highway sign at the entrance of Roncesvalles, just at the very beginning of the Spanish Camino. You can see the Camino path off to the right. It’s a perfect photo to post for Francine’s birthday. Happy birthday, darling!

From here, it’s 790 km by highway to Santiago de Compostela. How far is it by Camino? Nobody knows for sure. Estimates range from anywhere from 750 to 810 km. The Cathedral in Santiago reckons it at 760, but I’m pretty sure they’re just splitting the difference.
