The traditional way of getting to Santiago de Compostella is of course walking, although cycling and horseback riding are also accepted modes of transport for the dedicated pilgrim. Four major paths lead to Santiago from France. They start from Tours, Vèlezay, Le Puy, and Arles, and cross the Pyrenees at the Somport or Roncesvalles passes.
For those of us less religiously inclined, Santiago has an airport, railway station (c/del Horreo) and bus station.
