The iconic Praza do Obradoiro and the surroundings of the Cathedral were filled with over 3,000 pilgrims, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. August saw a record-breaking 76,065 pilgrims, a 7% increase from last year! 🌍✨
Top countries of origin for foreign pilgrims this month were Italy 🇮🇹, Portugal 🇵🇹, and the USA 🇺🇸.
Santiago continues to be a top destination for those seeking culture, history, and a break from the heat! 🏞️❤️

Good morning on the Camino! !
“Happiness is a direction, not a place.”
Don’t seek happiness as a destination. It’s not about arriving at a specific point; rather, it’s about the journey itself. True happiness lies in the path we choose, the experiences we embrace, and the way we perceive life. On the Camino de Santiago, this concept resonates deeply. It’s not just about reaching Santiago de Compostela; it’s about finding joy in each step, listening to our inner voice, and accepting responsibility for our emotions. The Camino teaches us that happiness is not an external goal—it’s the direction we take.
I hope you find inspiration in these words! 😊

SOLITUDE!
The Camino de Santiago is much more than a physical route; it’s an inner journey that takes us to unexplored places within our minds and hearts. One of its most remarkable aspects is the solitude experienced along the way. Initially overwhelming, solitude gradually becomes a gift.
In those moments of stillness and silence, we can hear our inner voice. Solitude allows us to connect with our deepest emotions and thoughts. We learn more about ourselves and reflect on our lives, decisions, and dreams.
The Camino also teaches us humility and solidarity. We share stories with fellow pilgrims, listen to their experiences, and realize that we’re not alone in our struggles and joys. Solitude transforms into companionship, and learning multiplies.

🟩Let me tell you about Berenguela, a bell that has captivated generations.
🏰 The Clock Tower and Its Sonic Treasure
The Clock Tower, also known as Berenguela, stands elegantly over the city. From its heights, it observes pilgrims and locals alike. But did you know that the clock has only one hand? The time is marked by the bells. And the largest of them all, Berenguela, weighs 6,433 kilograms. They say that if it chimes 13 times at midnight instead of 12, the devil will roam freely through the city. It sends shivers down my spine!
🕰️ A Bit of History
Today’s Berenguela is a replica of the original, which suffered irreparable damage due to humidity. The original bell, weighing approximately 9,600 kilograms, kept time for centuries. Although replaced in 1989, its legend lives on.
🟢🚶♂️ SARRIA AS YOUR STARTING POINT! Things you must know!
🟩 𝗦𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗮: About 26% of pilgrims choose Sarria as their starting point. Located in the province of Lugo, it’s 114 km (71 miles) away from Santiago. Some advantages of starting here include:
✅Minimum Distance: Sarria is the minimum distance required to qualify for the Compostela at Santiago Cathedral.
✅Connection to the Northern Way: From Sarria, you can connect to the Camino del Norte if you want to explore other routes.
Keep in mind that being a popular starting point means it can be more crowded.

"Buen Camino, better ending" https://arandatierradecalzado.com/es/mejor-final/ 🏁🥾🚫🔥 "Buen Camino, Better Ending": a new initiative to keep pilgrims from burning their shoes at the end of their Camino. The city of Fisterra and a shoe factory in Aragon work together to put a stop to this made-up tradition, prevent wild fires and preserve the environnement. They created an interesting alternative: leave you shoes in a container in Fisterra, register online (see link) and receive a new pair of shoes made in Aragon + a bag of shoe-"ashes" as a symbol of the end of your Camino. 🆕👞🎁 #camino #pilgrimage #landscape #santiago #galicia #road #hiking #theway #travelphotography #caminoportugues #jakobsweg #peregrino #picoftheday #instagood #scq #caminofrances #ultreia #buencamino #pilgrim #somosgalegos #santiagodecompostela #lugaressecretosdegalicia #love #photography #naturaleza #xacobeo #travel #spain #nature #caminodesantiago ASOCIACION DE FABRICANTES DE CALZADO DE ZARAGOZA
👉🥹🚶♂️🎼🎸⛪️ 🎥 Patrick Blooming says: "It was a journey of epic proportions and I was utterly humbled by it. I carried this little pink guitar with me all the way from St Jean Pied de Port to Muxia and I’m so glad I did. There were so many moments of song. People I could barely communicate seemed to understand everything that needed to be said through music. Over time, all those towns and people started worming their way inside me and what came out were songs that I want to record into an album. And so this is my song for all of it. For all of those people I met and all of you. All of the towns, the blisters, the sickness, the downwards slopes, the fear, pain, bliss and joy of connection. For the friends I made and the pilgrims like you I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting. After playing it for weeks I finally made my way back to Santiago de Compostela to stand with all these people I loved and sing them one last song on my last day of this journey. I’m Patrick and this was my Camino. May your days be blessed as mine have been. Buen Camino y Ultreia." #camino #pilgrimage #landscape #santiago #galicia #road #hiking #theway #travelphotography #caminoportugues #jakobsweg #peregrino #picoftheday #instagood #scq #caminofrances #ultreia #buencamino #pilgrim #somosgalegos #santiagodecompostela #lugaressecretosdegalicia #love #photography #naturaleza #xacobeo #travel #spain #nature #caminodesantiago

Viana do Castelo is one of the most beautiful cities in the north of Portugal. Its involvement in the Portuguese Discoveries and, later on, cod fishing shows its traditional connection to the sea. The special geographical situation of the city, next to the sea and to the mouth of the river Lima, can be seen from the Santa Luzia hill. This stunning view and the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a revivalist building by Ventura Terra, of 1898, could be your starting point for visiting the city. Viana is rich in palaces emblazoned with coats of arms, churches and monasteries, monumental fountains and water features that constitute a wealth of heritage worth visiting. Viana do Castelo is also considered a "Mecca of Architecture" thanks to the many important names in contemporary Portuguese architecture who have designed the city’s amenities and spaces. This is the case of the Praça da Liberdade by Fernando Távora, the Library by Álvaro Siza Vieira, the Youth Hostel by Carrilho da Graça, the Axis Hotel by Jorge Albuquerque and also the Viana do Castelo Cultural Centre, by Souto Moura, amongst many others. #camino #pilgrimage #landscape #santiago #galicia #road #hiking #theway #travelphotography #caminoportugues #jakobsweg #peregrino #picoftheday #instagood #scq #caminofrances #ultreia #buencamino #pilgrim #somosgalegos #santiagodecompostela #lugaressecretosdegalicia #love #photography #naturaleza #xacobeo #travel #spain #nature #caminodesantiago

Along the Camino the pilgrim will find many mounds of stones known as “humilladeros”, true symbols of the Camino among which the Cruz de Ferro is the most famous. Located at an approximate height of 1,490 meters, between Foncebadón and Manjarín, not far from the traditional beginning of the stage of Rabanal del Camino. The mound of the Cruz de Ferro is topped by a wooden pole, of an approximate height of five meters and with an iron cross of a meter and a half as a finishing touch. #caminodesantiago #caminofrances #santiagodecompostela #thejamesway #theway #peregrinando #catedraldeSantiago #españa #spagna #spain #buencamino #buencaminoperegrino #buencaminoperegrinos #peregrino #peregrinos #pilgrim #pilgrims #peregrinoasantiago #peregrinosasantiago #pilgrimtosantiago #pilgrimstosantiago #frenchway #spain
