The Camino de Santiago, often known as the Way of St. James, is a historic pilgrimage route with origins dating back to the early 9th century. It began after the relics of Saint James the Great were discovered in Galicia, northwestern Spain. This route quickly became one of the most significant Christian pilgrimages.
The pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, where it’s believed that the remains of Saint James are buried, is not just a spiritual journey but a profound experience.
The Camino can be traveled from different starting points, and my journey will begin in Le Puy, France, on the Chemin du Puy, also known as the Via Podiensis, to St. Jean Pied de Port, and then continue to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela—a journey of 1,000 miles.
