Additional Information
The Camino de Santiago de Compostela is one of the world's oldest pilgrimage
routes, and in 1987 was declared the first European Culture Route. Since
Apostle James’ tomb was discovered in the ninth century, the route has also
been known as 'The Way of St James'. The symbol of the scallop shell,
typically found on the Galician shores, marks the way. On completion of at
least 100km of the route, it is a great tradition to receive a certificate or
‘compostela’. Taking a self-guided walk along the Camino is a perfect way
to meet travellers from all over the world, as they journey from far and wide
to walk this important route.
