 St. James' Way or The Way of St. James, often known by its Spanish name, el Camino de Santiago, is the pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in north western Spain, where the remains of the apostle, Saint James the Great, are buried.  

The pilgrimage to Santiago soon became the most outstanding and most profoundly experienced religious phenomenon of the Middle Ages, a fact recognised by the European Parliament  and by UNESCO, which declared it a World Heritage Route.

 

The pilgrimage is a real challenge. Therefore, it is convenient to prepare it beforehand both spiritually and physically.
