THE WAY OF ST.JAMES

El camino de Santiago / Done Jakue bidea/ The Way of St.James has existed for over a thousand years. It was one of the most important Christian pilgrimages during medieval times, together with Rome and Jerusalem.

Legend holds that St.James's remains were carried by boat from Jerusalem to northern Spain where he was buried on the site of what is now the city of Santiago de Compostela.
