Xacobeo 2021 and 2022

Already in the land of Galicia, we begin our march on the Camino de Santiago from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela, also known as "The Last 100 Kms of the French Way". This route was a melting pot where all forms of expression of European culture were melted. Beautiful landscapes, endearing people, ancient culture, inner peace, excellent gastronomy, which can help you "find" what each one is looking for in this personal pilgrimage. At Xacobeoo 2021 we will discover the essence of the Camino Frances de Santiago, which seems to have left its mark on Galicia, after the massive passage of pilgrims who have walked it for years. This is the route followed by the majority of pilgrims who go on foot, since it is the minimum number of kilometers required to achieve "La Compostela"

The Camino de Santiago from Tui to Santiago has precisely this town as the gateway to Spain from Portugal.

Population centers with so much meaning and architectural beauty such as Redondela, Pontesampaio, Pontevedra, Caldas de Rei and Padrón, where according to legend the boat that brought the remains of the Apostle from Palestine landed.

The Jacobean pilgrimage and its different itineraries began to have great fame throughout medieval Europe.

The Camino de Santiago from Lugo (Camino Primitivo), begins at the foot of its fabulous Roman wall.

From Monte do Gozo, at the gates of Santiago, we will enjoy the exceptional view of the Cathedral and the city of the Apostle.

This Camino de Santiago from Baiona (Portuguese Way along the coast) is the only place where you can appreciate the relationship between the calm beaches and the strong waves of the Atlantic, where the sea breeze will accompany us on our way.
