The ways

The French Way
ir

The French Way is the Jacobean itinerary with the most historical tradition and the one most recognised internationally.

The Fisterra and Muxía Way
ir

This route originates in the city of Santiago and its goal is in Cape Fisterra and the Sanctuary of the Virxe da Barca de Muxía.

Vía de la Plata (The Silver Way) or Camino Mozárabe
ir

Coming from Andalucía and Extremadura, it enters Galicia through the Portelas do Padornelo and A Canda, passes through the northern Monterrei and A Limia valleys until Ourense.

The English Way
ir

Strategically situated, Ferrol and A Coruña are the starting points of the two alternatives of the English way. This maritime route was the one chosen by the Icelandic and Scandinavian pilgrims on their way towards Santiago.

The Primitive Way
ir

The pilgrimage Primitive Way to Compostela was used by the first devotees who came from the incipient Asturian kingdom. Thus, this is the first Jacobean itinerary and it’s where it takes its name from.

The Northern Way
ir

The origin of the pilgrimage to Santiago along the coast of Asturias and Galicia can be traced back to the time when the tomb of St. James was discovered.

The Route of the Sea of Arousa and River Ulla
ir

This marine-fluvial route through the Ría de Arousa and the river Ulla commemorates the arrival in Galicia, by sea, of the body of Apostle James the Major.

The Winter Way
ir

The Winter Way is the natural entrance to Galicia from the central plateau, an access already used by the Romans. It is thought that it could have been a winter alternative to the hard climb and the snowy heights of O Cebreiro.

The Portuguese Way
ir

This route grew in importance beginning in the 12th century, following Portugal’s independence. It runs along ancient roads and paths, including Via XIX, built in the 1st century AD, which links Braga with Astorga via Ponte de Lima, Tui, Pontevedra, Santiago and Lugo.
