Javier posted a link to a list of someone’s idea of the 13 most important medieval monuments on the Camino.

Only two are on the Francés, Frómista and San Isidoro in León. Well, 3 if you count Eunate, which is a km or so off the Francés, but on the Aragonés.
Here´s the breakdown for the other caminos, but Aragonés wins! Yet another reason to go. And yet another reason to shake your head in disbelief when you see how the numbers are declining on the Aragonés.
Aragonés (4) — San Juan de la Peña, Sangüesa, Leyre (actually you have to take an alternative to get here), Eunate
Catalán (2) — Loarre, Huesca
Norte (1) —Santillana
Sanabrés (1) —Zamora
Madrid (1) — Vera Cruz (on the Camino,outside Segovia)
Lana (1) — Santo Domingo de Silos (also on the “enhanced” version of the Camino San Olav)
Castellano-Aragonés (1) — Santo Domingo in Soria
I know this is very subjective, and many would disagree that those are the “top13”, but IMO all are special and well worth a stop. So maybe your list of Caminos to walk just got a little longer.
