Camino Palmero is the debut studio album recorded by American rock band the Calling, released by RCA Records on July 10, 2001. It contains their hit single "Wherever You Will Go". The title of the album comes from a Los Angeles street where band members Alex Band and Aaron Kamin first met. The record has many grunge influences and guitar solos.
Lyrically, the album explores topics dealing with romantic love, relationships, heartache, and misplaced loyalty. The cover art of the album represents the platforms 5 and 6 of the Santa Maria Novella railway station in Florence, Italy.
Camino Palmero peaked at number 36 on Billboard 200 and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album was generally panned by music critics for its subject matter and unoriginality, although some praised its arrangement and the band's vocal performance.
