The Camino de Sonoma is a 75 mile walk from the historic Mission San Francisco Solano in Sonoma to the Russian Orthodox Chapel in Fort Ross State Historic Park, offering those who travel it an embodied experience that is spiritual, historical, environmental, and communal.
This is the walk that inspired the Camino de Tucson.
HEART OF THE CITY, SEEKING THE HEART OF GOD
We're offering Camino de Phoenix with a passion for sharing a pilgrimage route in the heart of the city for those who are seeking to see the sacred in their local context. We often think we have to take a trip to another location but sometimes everything we need to see is right in front of us... if we will slow down and look. The Camino is an offering of the Spiritual Formation Society of Arizona.
The mission of American Pilgrims on the Camino is to foster the enduring tradition of the Camino de Santiago by supporting its infrastructure, by gathering pilgrims together, and by providing information and encouragement to past and future pilgrims.
The Old Pueblo Chapter of American Pilgrims is centered in Tucson, Arizona. This chapter covers the southern area of the state including Green Valley, Marana, Oro Valley, Corona de Tucson and Vail.
Journey Through the Soul of San Antonio, home to the oldest functioning Cathedral in the United States and five 18th Century Spanish Colonial Missions. Pilgrims who walk the entire route in San Antonio receive 30 km credit toward the Camino Ingles (English route) along the El Camino de Santiago, making El Camino de San Antonio part of an official route of the Camino in Spain.
Among the stops along the trail are:
San Fernando Cathedral, the oldest continuously functioning Cathedral in the United States
Mission Nuestra Señora de la Purisima Concepción de Acuña, completed in 1755 and the oldest unrestored stone church in the United States
Mission San José y San Miguel de Aguayo, known as “Queen of the Missions,” over 300 years old and one the most active parishes in South San Antonio
Mission San Juan Capistrano, nestled near the San Antonio river, provided all the missions with water for their crops through an innovative series of water canals built by the mission Indians
Mission San Francisco de la Espada, the smallest and oldest of the San Antonio missions, dates back to 1691 and is home to a crucifix containing a second class relic of Saint John Paul II
The entire First Coast Camino is a 50-kilometer or 30-mile route from Jacksonville Beach to the Cathedral Basilica, equaling half of the minimum 100 kilometers of required distance. All but the first two stops are in St. Johns County. Just as in Spain, the stops on the First Coast include museums, monuments, and archaeological sites, providing more information about the culture, history, and natural beauty of the region.
Now, pilgrims and adventurers can start their Camino from the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, before flying or sailing to Europe to continue their Camino on one of the other routes. The Camino de las Américas First Coast Route has an agreement with the Order of Malta’s Baby Steps Camino®, allowing miles walked in Florida to be applied toward the 100‑kilometer requirement needed to earn a Compostela certificate in Spain.
