This long-established site for pilgrims and armchair travelers provides historical
information, route descriptions, video clips, an image bank, virtual landscapes, a
"pilgrim's book" of travelogues, a discussion forum, and more.
The Confraternity of
St. James
This non-denominational British organization for religious and cultural pilgrims
has online route descriptions and publishes a series of pilgrim
guides.
American Pilgrims
on the Camino
American Pilgrims is a non-profit organization that supports the Camino,

well-designed Web site.
El
Camino de Santiago
John Daganeis created this virtual pilgrimage for UCLA's Department of Spanish
and Portuguese. Much of the text is in Spanish, but the English sections and
artwork make the site a worthwhile destination for Anglophones.
Santiago de
Compostela: Pilgrim Statistics
Patrick Dazelle provides a census of pilgrim numbers and origins from the late
1990s. (Although that was a while ago, it's a only a blip on the timeline of a
