Walk in the footsteps of the pilgrims from Leon to Santiago de Compostela

Pilgrims\' shoes

The Camino de Santiago de Compostela across northern Spain is one of the world's oldest pilgrimage routes.

For more than 1000 years pilgrims have made their way to Santiago and in 1987 it was declared the first European Culture Route. Also known as 'The Way of St James', it originated in the region of Galicia where the tomb of the Apostle James the Great was discovered in the 9th Century.

The way is marked by the symbol of the scallop shell, typically found on the Galician shores, and the grooves in the shell that join together are said to represent the many different ways pilgrims travelled from to reach the tomb of St James. A great tradition of the route is to obtain the 'compostela', a certificate of accomplishment given to pilgrims upon completing the way and to earn this you need to walk at least 100km of the route.

On arrival we will be issued with our Pilgrim's Passport, which will need to be stamped daily at either a 'refugio', church or town hall, to receive the 'compostela' in Santiago.
