11/20.- Santiago de Compostela, Town Center

"El Camino de Santiago" (Saint James Way) is the name given to the road the pilgrims followed in the middle age to get to Santiago. Many institutions (hospitals, hotels) were founded to help the pilgrims in their way to the holy city.

The oldest description of the journey is from the 12th century: the Codex Calixtinus and the "Kitab Ruyyar" (by the Arab author Idrisi).
