Santiago de Compostela is the destination of the Camino de Santiago, one of the great walking pilgrimages of the world. Pilgrims arrive after weeks on the road to the cathedral that holds the shrine of St James, many of them changed by the walking itself.

The sacred life of Santiago de Compostela

History

According to tradition the tomb of the apostle James was discovered here in the ninth century, and pilgrims have walked to it from across Europe ever since. The old town and the pilgrimage routes are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Why it’s sacred

The Camino is a pilgrimage walked by people of every faith and none — a long practice of walking, simplicity and reflection that ends at the tomb of St James.

How do I hear about new dates?
Follow a facilitator and you're told when they open something in Santiago de Compostela. No other notification is sent unless you ask for it.
Is everything in person?
