The Camino, also known as the Way of St. James or the Road to Santiago, is a pilgrimage route that leads to the big cathedral in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain.

The cathedral is the reputed burial place of Saint James the Great, one of the apostles of Jesus Christ, and as such it is a holy site in Christianity.

The Camino has existed since the Middle Ages, and the pilgrimage is still popular today for both religious and non-religious purposes.

Keynotes about the Camino may focus on the historical and religious background of the route, or they may focus on travel anecdotes if the speaker has completed the pilgrimage themselves.
