With ever-changing landscapes and a rich cultural heritage, the Camino de Santiago (or the Way of St James in English) is more than just a walk — it’s an experience that many undertake for spiritual growth, self-discovery, or simply the joy of the journey. Hikers, cyclists, tour groups and pilgrimages alike follow the path for several days leading to the shrine of the apostle James in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, northwestern Spain, where it is believed the apostle’s remains are buried.
Since 2013, the Camino has attracted more than 200,000 pilgrims each year, and the northern routes in Spain were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List due to the historical significance of this area.
