The gravel Camino de Santiago is an experience bordering on adventure cycle tourism since it involves a very high overall difference in height. The surface is mixed asphalt/dirt and accommodation is not a problem since there is a dense network of albergues (hostels) ranging from donations, therefore free, to prices easily accessible to all budgets. However, it is almost always possible to pitch a tent near the albergue and use the toilets and kitchens.

As in the Sicily Divide and Circumnavigation of Sicily gravel itineraries, it is possible to obtain a credential before departure to collect stamps along the entire itinerary and request the Compostela and the journey certificate once you arrive in Santiago.
