Walking Culture
Spain is home to the Camino de Santiago, arguably the world's most famous pilgrimage walk. But beyond the Camino, Spanish cities are built for the paseo — the evening stroll that's as much a social ritual as it is exercise. Tapas culture itself is a walking tradition: hopping from bar to bar on foot.
