Camino de Santiago
La leggenda vuole che i resti del l’ apostolo San Giacomo sono stati trasportati via mare da Gerusalemme a nord della Spagna dove fu sepolto sul luogo di quella che oggi è la città di Santiago de Compostela.El Camino de Santiago è una delle maggiori vie di pellegrinaggio cristiane, noto nella sua prima parte anche come Camino Francès, al santuario dell'apostolo San Giacomo il Grande nella cattedrale di Santiago de Compostela in Galizia, dove la tradizione vuole che i resti del santo sono sepolti.Il Cammino di Santiago è stato uno dei più importanti pellegrinaggi cristiani durante il Medioevo, insieme a Roma e Gerusalemme, è un percorso con il quale si ottiene l'indulgenza plenaria, come per gli altri grandi pellegrinagi della Via Francigena verso Roma e il proseguimento a Gerusalemme.Il percorso è stato dichiarato il primo Itinerario Culturale europeo del Consiglio d'Europa e nominato patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO.La lunga via si collegava al resto d’Europa attraverso il Camino Francès e la Via Tolosana, che partiva dal sud della Francia e Arles attraverso la Provenza per Tolosa, proseguendo ai Pirenei a Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, entrando in Spagna a Roncisvalle e quindi Pamplona sulla via per Logroño, Burgos e León attraversando regioni Navarra, La Rioja, Castiglia e León e Galizia, fino a Santiago de Compostela, da dove proseguire per raggiungere l'oceano Atlantico a Capo Finisterre.Qui solo pochi esempi dei tanti reportages su paesi, luoghi, storia, cultura e popolazioni di questa antica via , tra citta' , storia, cultura e tradizioni.

Traditionally, as with most pilgrimages, the Way of Saint James began at one's home and ended at the pilgrimage site. However a few of the routes are considered main ones. During the Middle Ages, the route was highly travelled. However, the Black Death, the Protestant Reformation and political unrest in 16th-century Europe led to its decline. By the 1980s, only a few pilgrims per year arrived in Santiago. Later, the route attracted a growing number of modern-day pilgrims from around the globe. The route was declared the first European Cultural Route by the Council of Europe and it was also named one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites.The long road was connected to the rest of Europe through the Camino Frances and the Via Tolosana, who started from the south of France through Provence and Arles to Toulouse, continuing to the Pyrenees in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, entering Spain to Roncesvalles and then on the way to Pamplona Logroño, Burgos and Leónand then on the way to Pamplona Logroño, Burgos and León regions through Navarra, La Rioja, Castilla y León and Galicia to Santiago de Compostela, where to go to get to the Atlantic Ocean at Cape Finisterre.Here only a few examples of the many reportages about countries, places, history, cultures and peoples on of this ancient road, between the cities' history, culture and traditions.From an exclusive archive also about completely changed places and populations along the routes of ancient travelers with studies, research, text, articles, made by the author with the images.
