Northern Spain and the Camino de Santiago
We follow the trail pilgrims have trod for centuries, from the French border to Santiago de Compostela in the northwest corner of Spain. Along the way, we stop off in Pamplona to run with the bulls, and dive into the unique Celtic culture of Galicia—where Riverdance meets flamenco.

Camino de Santiago Full Doumentary (The Way of St. James )
Camino de Santiago full documentary in english and spanish.
Camino de Santiago (The Way of Saint James) is the perfect mix of touristic-sports adventure and religious sentiment. This documentary shows all of the story from the origins until today.
The discovery of the sepulcher of the Apostle Santiago, in the first third of the IX century, compelled many Christians to make pilgrimages to Compostela doing the Camino de Santiago (Way of Saint James) to worship his relics.
This required the construction of a church. This building, besides guarding and honoring the relics of the Apostle and his disciples Teodoro and Atanasio, had to take in a greater number of pilgrims coming from the Peninsular kingdoms, as well as from the rest of Europe. The purpose of its builders was not only to construct the most perfect church dedicated to the cult of the pilgrims; they wanted to make Compostela a religious and artistic reference for the world, like Rome and Jerusalem.
These are the beginnings of a fascinating story, a fabulous saga spanning centuries carried out
by thousands of people united in their devotion to the figure of the Apostle Santiago, in a remote corner of Finisterre. They called it Compostela: the field of stars.
The present state of the Santiago Cathedral is the result of numerous changes, projects, works, remodeling; in short, an evolving and impassioned architectural and artistic creation developed throughout many centuries.
Camino de Santiago. The Temple of the Stars - Full Documentary
Even though Jerusalem, Rome and Santiago have been the three great destinations for pilgrims
since the Middle Ages, the Camino de Santiago (Way of Saint James) to Santiago is the only one that is still traveled the same way today as it was back then: on foot and with little else than a shoulder pouch.
It had been a long time since news of the discovery of the Santiago sepulcher had reached France. Those were dark and dangerous times.
Terror broke loose when the Saracen army flattened Compostela. Almanzor had destroyed its basilica and other churches and monasteries. Bishop Diego Peláez decided to build a new church
to replace the pre-Romanesque Basilica. We fly over the city of Santiago. From up here, we can see the cathedral and near it, the church of San Félix de Solovio.
And it is in this place where chronicles tell of a hermit known as Pelayo who, as he fasted, observed some lights shining on the ancient Roman citadel. Before such news, the bishop arrived at the site and discovered the entrance to a small sepulcher among the weeds.
A church was built above the sepulcher to worship the Apostle’s relics. Construction was finished in 830 and Bishop Teodomiro consecrated the first Church of Santiago.
In the year 1101, while in Santiago after being named bishop by Pope Paschal II Diego Gelmírez initiated his projects. The first would be the conclusion of the cathedral. It was apparent that if he wanted the Santiago church to become that great Apostolic see, it had to be at the vanguard of art.
To this end, he patronized continuous exchanges between Compostelan builders and the most advanced constructors of the times. Camino de Santiago (The Way of St. James) had definitely become a torrent of culutral and artistic exchange between Galicia and the rest of Europe.
Diego Gelmírez had achieved all of his goals: the construction of the cathedral was well on its way
and it was a benchmark for European Romanesque art;
And finally, on April 21 1211, Archbishop Pedro Muñiz, in the presence of King Alfonso IX,
consecrated the Romanesque cathedral of Santiago. The visits of Pope John Paul II and later Benedict XVI in the Holy Compostelan year of 2010, surrounded by a fervent multitude of pilgrims from all over the world, through Camino de Santiago ( Way of St. James) are a testimony to the magnificent vitality the Jacobean cult has today.
But notwithstanding all the changes, the works of Peláez and Gelmírez, of Masters Bernardo, Esteban, Mateo, and countless others, still remain unaltered and recognizable. In the spaces within its naves, columns, tribunes, chapels and porticos, the spirit of all those who contributed to its erection is conserved.
Thousands of pilgrims from around the world held each year Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James) to venerate the relics of the Apostle. Camino de Santiago (The Way of St. James) ends in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.

Here's the BLUF:
-------------------------
- The most popular way is the Camino de Frances (the French Way, ~780 KM, recommended 34 days to complete)
- You can only receive the Compostela (certificate of completion) by walking at least the last 100 KM (or biking 200)
- Unique gear list (you might not have considered):
-- sleeping bag liner w/insect repellent:
-- concentrated laundry detergent:
-- sleeping mask/ear plug combo:
-- travel adapter:
- flip flops/shower shoes
- You will need credentials (pilgrim's passport) to gain stamps along the way that prove your journey - get one here
- The Camino is extremely affordable - $5-10 Albergue lodging, $15 food = $20-25 total cost per day
- You do not need to pack as much as a typical hike - you will come across towns every 3-5 KM
- There are yellow arrows indicating the way across the entire journey - you won't get lost!
- Spanish, while helpful, isn't really necessary: the towns along the Camino are used to worldwide pilgrims
- Recommend good hiking boots, synthetic quick dry clothing (2 sets minimum)
- Averaging 30 KM a day, you can complete your 100 KM in 3/4 walking days; with travel days, this can be a 6-8 day trip
- Plan for spring or fall if you want beautiful weather - early October proved to be perfect
- For the true experience, don't plan your accommodations/meals, etc - just walk and know that the Camino always provides (but do book for Santiago)

The Way of St. James is likely one of the most trafficked pilgrimages in existence. This holy walk takes people from around the world to multiple courses that begin in various locations but culminate in a trek across Spain that ends in Santiago de Compostela, which is believed to be the burial site of St. James' remains. This walk will take you through beautiful small towns, across the Spanish countryside, next to towering castles, and through bustling metropolises. It is a journey that many take for very different and personal reasons, but it guarantees lasting lifetime memories, some challenges, and likely some new friendships.
