Pilgrimage to Santiago
The Pilgrimage to Santiago, also known as the Camino de Santiago, is a historic journey leading to the shrine of St. James in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Traditionally undertaken by Christians seeking spiritual fulfillment, it involves various routes across Europe. Pilgrims walk, cycle, or travel on horseback, often spanning several days or weeks. The pilgrimage blends personal reflection, cultural exploration, and community. Today, it attracts people of all backgrounds, offering an opportunity for adventure, connection, and introspection amid scenic landscapes enriched with history. Participants often receive a "compostela," a certificate of completion, marking their journey.
