Last call for the Camino de Santiago Train (The Pilgrim Train)

During the summer season, the Camino de Santiago train, also called 'The Pilgrim Train', is an alternate way of doing the Camino de Santiago. Each day the train stops at a different stage along the Camino de Santiago and you can either enjoy the city taking a tour with The Spanish Touch or discover it on your own or you can walk the stage or even take your bike.
