Meaning of camino de santiago by Felipe Lorenzo del Río





Felipe Lorenzo del Río

camino de santiago
  6

This is the name of the different routes that take us to Compostela (campus stellae), the field of the star that a peasant saw in the ninth century and where Alfonso II of Asturias located the tomb of Santiago el Mayor. Although the route par excellence is the French one that enters Navarre, parallel to the Duero, crosses La Rioja, Castile, León and enters Galicia. And since the pilgrims found their way at night through the Milky Way that goes from south to northeast, we ended up calling this Way of St. James as well.
