CAMINO de Santiago

(12-22 April 2025)

A Holy Week Pilgrimage 2025

The Camino de Santiago, or Way of St. James, is one of the three most significant Christian pilgrimages, historically ranking alongside journeys to Jerusalem and Rome. This network of ancient routes leads to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain, where the tomb of St. James the Greater, one of Christ’s apostles, rests.

As you walk the route, you have the opportunity to visit a variety of religious sites, including ancient monasteries, churches, and cathedrals. You will also have the chance to experience the beauty and culture of the regions through which the Camino passes. The route winds through picturesque countryside, charming towns and villages, and offers stunning views of the natural landscape.
