The city of Lugo plays a major role in our tours. Among its many historical treasures, the city wall built by order of the Roman Emperor Augustus stands out. In those days, the city was known as Lucus Augusti.

Today, the city walls stretch over 2,000 meters in circumference and 71 of the original 85 towers remain. The walls range from 8 to 12 meters in height and from 4 to 7 meters in width. There are also 10 gates: 5 date from the Roman Empire era, and the other 5 were built between the 19th and 20th centuries. Among them, the Puerta de Santiago stands out, through which pilgrims on the Santiago Way traditionally pass.

Don’t miss the opportunity to explore this gem of one of the empires that shaped history with us!

Spanish José Andrés is one of the most influential chefs in the world. His talent, charisma, and generosity—through projects such as World Central Kitchen —have earned him honors such as the Princess of Asturias Award.

In 2021, coinciding with the Xacobeo, he walked the Camino de Santiago and shared his personal, cultural, and culinary experiences with the world.

Next year will be another Camino Xacobeo Year.

Reaching Santiago seems to be the goal. It’s usually considered the end of the Camino. However, although it is indeed the final stop on the journey, arriving in Compostela doesn’t mean the end of such a special personal and shared experience. Many people’s lives are transformed after going on this journey. And many return to do it again.

Some people often think of the Camino as something akin to a special sporting event. However, far from it—walking to Santiago is a deeply human and transformative experience that leaves a lasting impact on the lives of those who undertake it.

One of the artistic treasures of the Cathedral of Santiago is the Portico of Glory. This work by Maestro Mateo (12th century) is considered by art experts the most significant example of Romanesque sculpture in Europe.

It was created to welcome pilgrims and remind them some of the principles of the Christian faith, such as the Resurrection, the Last Judgment, and the salvation of the world.

Traditionally, pilgrims would rest their hands on the branches of the tree of Jesus Christ’s genealogy, located in the mullion of the portico. However, following its restoration (2016–2018), it is no longer possible to perform this gesture.

Such is this significance that the Victoria and Albert Museum houses a replica of this work.

Sharing the Camino is the best way to experience it. The diversity of our groups—and, at the same time, the fact that we are all pilgrims on an endless journey—is our greatest treasure.

In 1987, the renowned author Paulo Coelho published his novel 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘪𝘭𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘢: 𝘋𝘪𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘯 (Planeta). This work marked the beginning of a success that he later cemented with 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘭𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵, and it is based on his personal experience walking the Camino as a pilgrim in 1986.

In his own words, the writer stated that “The Camino was the greatest change of my life; thanks to the pilgrimage, I decided to follow my personal legend and become a writer. It also allowed me to understand that wisdom is found in ordinary people and that one must be open to everything.”

"O son do Camiño" is a Galician expression that refers to the musical and folk culture of the towns along each route to Santiago.

However, these words have a deeper meaning for pilgrims. For them, "O son do Camiño" speaks to every inspiration, idea, reflection, or experience they feel within themselves as they walk to Compostela.

Every year in June, the Monte do Gozo in Santiago de Compostela hosts the O Son do Camiño Festival, one of the most significant musical events on the Spanish cultural calendar.
