El Camino Real - Definition and Overview

El Camino Real (Spanish for the Royal or King's Highway) was the name of a series of pre-automobile highways linking the various New World colonies of Spain:

• There is an El Camino Real in California; see: El Camino Real (California); that road provoked a Jargon File bilingual homographic bilingual pun: El Camino Real (computers);
• A Camino Real runs through Texas into Louisiana; see: Old San Antonio Road.
• Another Camino Real goes from El Paso, Texas to Taos, New Mexico; see El Camino Real (New Mexico).

Camino Real is a play by Tennessee Williams.
