About the Camino de Santiago
In fact, we should call it the “Camino de Santiago de Compostela.” Many might think it’s just one route, but it’s actually the name given to a network of routes that lead to the tomb of the Apostle James, also known as James the Greater, located in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
These are Christian pilgrimage paths with medieval origins. It is said that the first pilgrim was King Alfonso II the Chaste in the year 813, who walked from Oviedo to confirm that the Apostle James’s tomb had indeed been miraculously discovered. After verifying the truth of the event, he ordered the construction of a small church where the tomb was located, which was later rebuilt by King Alfonso III in the year 899, becoming the renowned Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
In the past, the term “Camino de Santiago” referred to the route from the Pyrenees to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Today, this route is known as the “Camino Francés,” and the term “Camino de Santiago” now encompasses all the existing Jacobean routes.
It has undoubtedly become the most famous and popular pilgrimage route in Europe.
