What is the Royal connection?
Did any English Kings, Princes visit?

As a stop off to the Conquest of Lisbon, I understand Crusaders would make Pilgrimage are there further websites to support this?

Thank you

Simon

Camino real is roughly equivalent to King's Highway in England - i.e. comes under the aegis of the crown rather than being locally maintained. The name is widely used for major roads throughout Hispanic America as well as in Spain itself. Same applies to drove roads, Real Cañada.

Unlike in England though, there was no central state in Spain until the 15th century, so the term is (AFAIK) post-medieval.
