 The Asheville Camino Trail

Designed to simulate a day on the Camino de Santiago in Spain, the Asheville Camino is a 16-mile walking route through the River Arts District, West Asheville and Downtown Asheville. It takes people on greenways, through city parks and along quiet streets. It also passes many local eateries and watering holes for refreshment along the way.

The trail route was developed by the Western North Carolina Chapter of American Pilgrims on the Camino, a national non-profit organization whose mission is to foster the enduring tradition of the Camino de Santiago, a 1,000 year old network of pilgrimage routes in Spain that is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

What is the Camino?

The Camino de Santiago is a thousand-year-old network of pilgrimage routes across Europe
​terminating in the city of

The routes are a UNESCO World Heritage
