Explore these walksWitches and wandering souls are part of the tales accompanying a walk through Compostela. This theme puts them alongside questions about their origins: how long they've been told and how they relate to each place. The walks approach the culture of those stories without presenting a tradition as proof that its events happened.
In “University, Market”: The oxen of Rúa do Franco and the stories of La Troya connect the university walk with Compostela's tales.
In “The Camino’s arrival”: And then you climb to San Francisco: a basket of fish paid in procession, a charcoal burner who may have been rich, and the final question.
In “Witches and spirits”: You climb up to the park to hear how long the Santa Compaña has been told, and finish in an old cemetery that became a garden.
