Way of Saint James, Pilgrimage route in Spain
The Camino de Santiago is a network of pilgrims' ways leading to the shrine of the apostle Saint James the Great in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain.
The pilgrimage route has existed for over a thousand years and was one of the most important Christian pilgrimages during the Middle Ages.
It is a significant spiritual journey that many undertake for personal growth, not just religious reasons.
The route is marked by a scallop shell, often found on the trails and roads leading to Santiago.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people from various backgrounds walk the Camino de Santiago for reasons ranging from a desire for adventure to a search for spiritual clarity.
