One of the routes that can be made of Camino de Santiago, both on foot and by bicycle is the Via de la Plata, a path that goes back to Roman times which runs from Seville to Gijon, but this time is not reached until the Asturian town but in Astorga changes direction and follows the part of the French route to reach Santiago de Compostela.
