The pilgrimage routes to
Santiago de Compostela
in pictures

Our index gives a link to over 200 websites, and tells you what is in each one, with the aid of letter codes. You may find this slightly confusing at first, but if you are looking for something specific, you will find it will save you a lot of time.

How to use our index The index is constructed in 5 broad areas: Language, Resources, Walking, More Info and Caminos. Resources covers information you might need before you go on the Camino. Walking covers things you might need while you are on the Camino. More info covers other things which might be interesting to you. These sections are listed in the light blue stripe which starts the next section of this page, and you can click on any one of them to get a complete listing of the sites which have information in this category.

Or you can go further down the page to see the complete listing of all the websites with the letter codes indicating the topics covered by this website. If you do this, you may find it convenient to print out the list of classification codes, which are available in English, Spanish, French, and German. We are planning to add other languages later

If you are interested in just one sub-category (for example, sites in French, you can click on the link below the main category, and that will give you a complete list of the sites in Frence which we have in the index. Similarly, if you are just interested in how to avoid blisters and general foot care, you can click on the blisters code under Walking, and get a complete list of the sites where we have identified useful material on blisters.

Abbreviations and colour codes Because we have very limited space, and to help differentiate between sites with similar names, we have used these abbreviations: AAC - Asociación de Amigos del Camino; As- Asociación; CR - Casa Rural; CS - Camino de Santiago; Fed. - Federación' NPA - National Pilgrim Associations/ Confraternities; RPA - Regional Pilgrim Associations; SJ - Saint James; Soc - society,

Some sites are flagged up with a coloured background: extended comprehensive.

Viewing the listings You can print out the list of classification codes in English or in French. You can make the type size larger or small in Firefox by typing [Ctrl]+ or [Ctrl]-. In Internet Explorer, click View, then Text Size on the menu bar.

Notes on compilation We have tried to look through every page of the sites indexed, and to note all the subjects covered in more than a few lines on each one. The sites are ordered in the index according to how many Caminos are on the site, and how many languages are available on the site. This seems the most practical way to ensure that the most useful sites are listed first.

3 ways you can help!
Suggest a site. We welcome suggestions for other sites to include in our index. If you would like to suggest a site, please Email us giving the address of the site, the languages of the site, the three most important subject categories it should be listed under. If it is your own site, let us know if there is a reciprocal link to www.santiago-compostela.net
Suggest changes to the coding for a site on the index Sites change, and we can only revisit them occasionally. If you think another code should be added to a site, or that a code should be flagged as comprehensive, please send an Email giving as full details as you can. If it is your own site, let us know if there is a reciprocal link.
Dead links If you click on a link to a site and it does not work, please let us know. This is the main way we find out about sites which have vanished from the web; we (and others) would be glad to know. .
