Camino de Santiago
The Camino de Santiago, or Way of St James, is the network of pilgrimage routes leading to the shrine of the apostle St James at Santiago de Compostela in Galicia. From the 9th and especially the 11th and 12th centuries it drew pilgrims from across Europe, and the main route across northern Spain became lined with towns, churches and hospices. It remains a major pilgrimage and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
