Santiago de Compostela

Arriving in Compostela also means entering a city that lived from the passage of pilgrims. This theme connects arrival with the Camino's stories and places within Santiago. The walks ask what people found after their journey and how their presence related to squares, institutions and the everyday lives of the city's residents.

In “Santiago Cathedral”: The cathedral's squares and doors let you continue the pilgrim's arrival with questions about the places at the end of the Camino.

In “University, Market”: Gelmírez's street and the home for retired clergy bring the city of the Camino into the life of its institutions and streets.

In “The Camino’s arrival”: You come in where pilgrims on the Camino Francés came in, through the gate the twelfth-century guide names first among the city's gates.
