The Camino del Cid is a cultural tourist itinerary based on historical personage Rodrigo Díaz and the literary work El Cantar de mio Cid. In both cases they are references of international scope: El Cid, "Castilian hero par excellence, the most exalted knight of medieval Spain" and the Cantar de mio Cid, "one of the great classics of European literature".

The route crosses eight Spanish provinces (Burgos, Soria, Guadalajara, Zaragoza, Teruel, Castellón, Valencia and Alicante) belonging to four Autonomous Communities (Castile and Leon, Castilla-La Mancha, Aragon and Valencian Community). It can be traveled both by road and by footpath.
