Santiago and Galicia
The creation of the Holy Year in Santiago goes back to the XV century. It is believed that the first one in history could have been the Jubilee Year of 1428, or perhaps 1434, both convened by Archbishop Lope de Mendoza. The next Holy Year will be in 2021.
The Public network of Pilgrims’ hostels in The Way of Saint James takes the network of medieval hospitals as a model and today there are 70 centres and more than 3,000 public places.
The travel doesn't begin when you prepare your backpack , the takeoff is when you dream about it.
Friends of the Way of St. James associations are independent not-for-profit organizations separate from Turismo de Galicia.The first Society of Friends of Santiago was founded in Paris in 1950.
