The Way of St James / El Camino / le Chemin St Jacques is the pilgrimage route to the shrine of St James at Santiago de Compostella - the Field of the Star - in northern Spain. The Way of St James consists of many pilgrim routes which traverse Europe, as witnessed by the scallop shells of St James which adorn wayside crosses, drinking fountains and monasteries as far afield as northern Britain and Poland. These routes all converge in the Pyrenées before traversing Spain. Throughout all of Europe there are many routes and shrines which claim a history of welcoming and caring for pilgrims en route to Santiago, where waymarks of brass and tile scallop shells or distinctive yellow arrows all guide the pilgrim towards Santiago de Compostella. In Spain the route known as the Camino de Santiago - or the Camino Francés - is the principal 750km way-marked route from St Jean Pied de Port in France, which crosses the Pyrenées at either Somport or Roncesvalles. These two routes meet at Puente la Reina, in the lands of Navarre, to form a single route which continues via La Rioja, entering Galicia via O Cebreiro and so to Santiago de Compostella.
