el Camino de Santiago is not one trail but many different routes (about 8 official routes in France, 15 in Spain and many that start in other European countries) so there is no 'start' only a destinaton - the tomb of St James in Santiago de Compostela. One could say that el Camino starts from your front door! In order to earn a certificate of completion - the Compostela - you need to walk the last 100km to Santiago or cycle the last 200km. That is the only criterion for earning the Compostela. You don't have to stay in pilgrim shelters, or carry a backpack Spain
