Northern Spain and the Camino de Santiago

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2010 | We follow the trail pilgrims have trod for centuries, from the French border to Santiago de Compostela in the northwest corner of Spain. Along the way, we stop off in Pamplona to run with the bulls, and dive into the unique Celtic culture of Galicia — where Riverdance meets flamenco. #ricksteveseurope #ricksteves #spain

Senor Rick, muchas gracias for the fab shows, I went to Spain for 2 years and stayed 8. Pamplona, los toros, many bullfights,  the food, music, dance,  people, sightseeing, all super. From Las Canarias to all of the coastal cities/pueblos and many interiors. Viva Espana!

Spain is my favorite travel destination because of its varied landscape, stunning weather nearly all through the year, great culinary delights and nice and kind people .

Tradition is something that is part of a culture and therefore, part of the country. Spain is a beautiful country, with rich traditions, as crazy as they are. Love Spain!

Superb cities! Superb people!  I ran with the bulls when I was in my 20s. Salutations from, USA!

León is a great town. Amazing destination for those who love tapas and typical food and also very joyful for young people. Don't miss it if you come to North West of Spain!!

[jonnycumtastefully]

It was so beautiful, I did not know about this pilgrimage or about this part of Spain ! The scenery the small towns and their Churches were oh so lovely . I will plan to visit this area on my next trip ! One of the best of your entire body of excellent shows.

Thanks Rick for your continuing tour of Spain. I want so much to make the pilgrimage to Northern Spain
an the Camino de Sntiago. Your books have giving great motivation to not give up going there thanks again.
Gods peace be with you in your travels.

Rick Steves Europe has been my favorite program (or favourite programme) for many years now. It has helped me help Canadian friends plan a honeymoon, myself to travel around Europe (although it's been much too long since I've been back) and for my parents to plan their European holidays to Eastern Europe, Italy, and now this year, France. Thanks Steve! PS. I know your company keeps saying you really don't need tour guides for Finland as it's not a popular destination but I know with the right marketing the hidden gem that is Finland could become one. :) I spent 11 glorious, but cold, months there.
