I n the year 813, in the land known as "world's end" inGalicia, a hermit named Paio (Pelayo) discovered the tomb ofSaint James the Elder, Son of Thunder. According to the

legends, James (Santiago in Spanish) the Apostle came to Spainon a long ministry to evangelize the northern part of the Iberianpeninsula. Later he was beheaded in Palestine and his body wasplaced by two of his disciples in a stone boat which miraculouslyset sail with no pilot, reaching the Galician coast. After journeyingup the Ulla river, the boat marooned at Padrn. After manyvicissitudes, the body was buried on mount Libredn. Little by littleall was forgotten until a bright star shone guiding the hermit tothe field where the saint was buried. With this lovely legend, it is

Introduction

The Via Tolosana ascends the Somport pass (1,632 m.)

into Spain from Toulouse, crossing the ancient region of Bearn.This pass opens the way to Candanch and Canfranc. Next tothe latter rises the castle known as Coll de Ladrones. Nothing isleft but the ruins of the fortress and what was once CampusFrancus, but other development projects have turned thesetowns into famous winter resorts.

Rocky terrain alternates with asphalt along the route leading tothe well-preserved Jaca Castle, a 12th century fortificationwhich rises on the Pyrenees route and announces the approach tothe once powerful capital of the Kingdom of Aragn, Jaca.Although many modern amenities can now be found, there is noforgetting that in the 11th century Jaca was the birthplace of kings.Its very soul is preserved in the grandiose Romanesque Cathedralof San Pedro, extremely important during this period in history.Within the cathedral, the Diocesan Museum houses anextraordinary collection of priceless medieval painting(Romanesque and pre-Gothic). The Church of Santiago, aBenedictine Monastery and a medieval bridge are other examplesof the architecture recalling the past splendor of Jaca. But its

he most traveled of the pilgrimage routes leading to

Santiago de Compostela is the Royal French Roadwhich joins the Vias Lemosina and Podiensis in thePyrenees of Navarre, as well as part of the Via Turonensis thatprefers the inland route to the coastal one.

Luzaide-Valcarlos and Orreaga-Roncesvalles are the firsttowns in Navarre pilgrims encounter. These names bring backmemories of all the myths associating the Emperor Charlemagnewith the origin of the pilgrim road. In fact, penitents can followthe steps of the famous emperor starting in Valcarlos, where it issaid that he camped after the defeat of his army at the hands of

the Moorish king of Zaragoza. Stories tell that after gathering upthe body of his nephew Roland and burying him, Charlemagnefell to his knees at the Alto de Ibaeta where an angel showedhim the way of the stars as the only one leading to forgiveness.An historiated cross marks the spot and speaks of thatmoment, as well as hundreds of other small crosses that manyother devoted Christians have placed as they passed by.

Entering Pamplona (Irua) should be done grandly as befits thistwo thousand-year-old city that has preserved its age-old charm.To begin with, the medieval bridge of Magdalena must becrossed, a long-standing Jacobean tradition (cross with an imageof the Apostle to the side), to then continue skirting the ramparts.Custom dictates that travelers first proceed to the cathedral,where the doors of the Hospital of San Miguel were once open topilgrims. The French Gothic cathedral, with an elegant neoclassicalfacade, was built over the ruins of a Romanesque church.Of interest in the interior are the lovely Gothic cloister andentranceway, as well as the ambulatory bordering the apse,

characteristic of pilgrim churches.The rest of our visit to Pamplona takes us along the Calle de la

Curia to the beginning of the Calle Mayor, where theRomanesque Church of San Cernin stands. Presiding over theportal is a figure of the Apostle Saint James. The pilgrimages toSantiago have made a lasting impression on this city. Its patronsaint is the Virgen del Camino (Virgin of the Roadway) (with achapel in the Jacobean Church of San Cernin) and figures of theApostle may be found in all of its temples, including the Church

No truly Jacobean city could be without a church dedicated toSaint James. In a southern portal, Santiago el Real displays amodest Renaissance image of St. James the pilgrim, although thisis overshadowed by a monumental baroque sculpture of St. James

the Moor-slayer (Santiago Matamoros), a defiant figure onhorseback which recalls the battle in nearby Clavijo. Thehermitages and parish churches in Clavijo revere St. Jamessintervention in 844 when according to tradition, the Apostledescended from the sky mounted on a white charger to fightagainst the Moorish leader Abderrahman, leading the Christiansto victory.

The solitary fields of La Rioja reach to Navarrete. Thearchitectural remains of the former pilgrim hospital now serve as aGothic portal to the cemetery. On the road heading to Njera,travelers can still find reminders of the legendary French knightRoland (Roldn in Spanish) in the town of Poyo Roldn.

Njera is a good example of the close relationship betweenpolitical and spiritual forces in past centuries. The coastal route ofthe Way of St. James was required to pass through here by orderof the king since Njera was a Royal Court.

After leaving San Juan de Ortega, several alternatives arepossible, although perhaps it would be advisable to keep to thetraditional route. This is the route that traverses Ags, Atapuerca(famous for its prehistoric archeological finds) and Cardeuela.

The traveler finds himself once again before the vast plains ofCastile and Len studded with woodlands, and only a shortdistance from the busy city of Burgos.

There were towns that grew up because of the pilgrim road,but the main Jacobean route was purposely designed to go toBurgos. The old Castilian Royal Court was so important that itsmonarchs were able to get the main route to reach this point eventhough at first, the pilgrim road ran along the Cantabrian coast.

In the city of Burgos, pilgrims should begin by walking alongthe route marked by tradition. Entrance is by the streets of Vitoria,Covadonga and Las Calzadas, soon reaching the Plaza de San

Juan. Here stood one of the thirtyto shelter pilgrims; today convertpreserving only a Gothic doorwayof San Lesmes (St. Adelelmo wasAbbey of Cluny). The church has

PalenciaSoon we come upon the romantic ruins of the Convent of SanAntn. The religious order is no longer in existence, but forcenturies it enjoyed a certain prestige because it was said thatthey knew how to cure gangrene.

Castrojeriz is a typical example of a pilgrim road town. Thetwo kilometers bordering the pilgrimage road include shops, acollegiate church dedicated to the Virgen del Manzano (withimportant Romanesque and Gothic elements, such as a rosewindow and portals), a Plaza Mayor, the Church of SantoDomingo (exhibiting Flemish tapestries with designs by Rubens)and the traditional hall-church of San Juan.

The upcoming stretch to Frmista (the next staging point) holdsa surprise; a climb to the Colina de Mostelares (1,400 m.) whoseascent, peak and descent mark each crossing. From high up, Iterodel Castillo can be seen, the last town in the province of Burgos,and the Pisuerga river, which indicates the entrance to Palencia.

Villalczar de Sirga surprises travelers with a huge templeconsecrated to Santa Mara la Blanca. In the interior, there is anarray of styles visible, from the impressive Gothic tombs to

Renaissance sculptures, and even Visigothic elements.The next stop is Carrin de los Condes. The Calle de Santa

Mara passes at the entrance by the ancient Church of SantaMara del Camino and in the center of the town, by theRomanesque Church of Santiago. The remarkable carved friezeabove the doorway has been considered to be among the bestJacobean art along the pilgrim route.

The walls encircling Mansilla de Mulas speak of a time whenthe town was strong and strategically important. These were yearsof continuous territorial battles, and the town on the banks of theEsla river built thick strong walls for protection. Mansilla once

housed a monastery and seven churches within its walls crownedby battlemented towers and enclosed by four gates. Only twogates are preserved, called Arco de la Concepcin and Arco deSan Agustn (the pilgrim route to leave town).

From now and until reaching the city of Len, capital of theprovince, the land is scattered here and there with historicremains. As an example, in the vicinity of Villamoros, there is acastro (an Astur fortification the Romans conquered in the firstyears of our era). A little further ahead, we cross the curvedbridge of Villarente spanning the Porma. The bridge is so largethat it has seventeen arches from different periods. At the otherend of the bridge, a pilgrim hospital is still standing.

and within the walls we find the Plaza del Mercado. On thissquare stands the Romanesque temple of the patron saint, SantaMara del Camino, which received pilgrims at the south doorcalled the Puerta del Perdn (Door of Pardon). The cobbled streetslead to the Cathedral of Santa Mara de Regla, considered the

finest example of the Gothic style in the Iberian peninsula.The stained glass windows are beyond compare. The cathedralwas erected over the site of ancient Roman baths and laterconstructions (Romanesque and Mozarab). The devout wouldmost certainly have passed through the magnificent ambulatory toreach the Chapels of Santiago and the Virgen Blanca.

Before departing via the Calle de la Abada to regain theJacobean route, it would be an excellent idea to linger a littlelonger in the city to visit some of the other exceptional sights.

Only this way can we be sure to see the Calle de la Ra with itshandsome mansions on both sides and further ahead the strikingbuilding called Casa de los Botines by the world-famous architectAntonio Gaud.

The Calle de Renueva, outside the walls, leads to the Conventof San Marcos (now a luxury Parador hotel), as well as the pilgrimhospital. In front of the building, there is a majestic cross from theAlto del Portillo, which in spite of its beauty, still cannot eclipsethe superb Renaissance facade of the convent.

On our approximation to the region of Galicia, the lowmountains of Len guide us from Rabanal del Camino to themining town of Ponferrada. Along this stretch of the road,travelers will encounter one of the most interesting Jacobeancustoms, the monjoies, also known as milladoiros in thenorthwestern part of the peninsula; in the Puerto deFoncebadn, a cross on a mound of rocks marks the route andinvites travelers to make their contribution to the pile. From theheights of the mountain pass (1,517 m.), there is a magnificentview of the fertile highlands of the Bierzo.

In the vicinity of Ponferrada, the charming village ofMolinaseca draws our attention to the chapel of Las Angustiasand other well-preserved monuments, including a Roman bridgeand arcaded streets with handsome old mansions. The Hermitageof San Roque marks the exit from Molinaseca and the imminent

entrance into Ponferrada.Ponferrada is an old mining town steeped in history. From the

memory of the first bridge reinforced with iron (Pons Ferrata) tothe castle of the Knights Templar, everything is a reminder of adefensive past. The well-preserved castle exterior no longer hidesany mysteries (three walls, twelve towers, etc.) Further below inthe old quarter, we find the Hospital of La Reina, a Renaissanceinn near the Church of San Andrs which houses the figure ofChrist of the Templars.

All roads led to Compostela. Although the most well-traveledroute was the French Road, there were many othersoriginating from all over the Iberian peninsula, and they formeddeviations that ran through diverse lands. These routes opened upnew pathways far from the masses and have provided anopportunity to see other lesser known places and monuments ofunquestionable beauty and historic value.

Of all the reasons to undertake this route, the ones most oftencited are those of the celebrated French pilgrim Aymeric Picaud,who only tried to avoid the dangerous lands of Navarre. However,given the hospitality and attractive countryside found in thisregion, we must also remember that the first pilgrims whotraveled to Compostela dared only venture along the coast

This is the name of the route taken by the pilgrims from theBritish Isles to the ports in northwest Galicia and from there by

foot to Compostela. The road reached its peak of popularitystarting in the 14th century.

From the port of O Parrote in A Corua, the pilgrims set outfor the Romanesque collegiate church of Santa Mara and theChurch of Santiago to ascend to the Alto de Eirs. They oftentraveled to O Burgo, which was also another landing point. InCambre is the church with an ambulatory and baptismal fontwhich tradition says was brought from the Holy Land. The routecontinued through Sigrs, Calle and Bruma where it joined up

with the branches from the ports of Ferrol and Neda.Pilgrims having trekked to one of these two towns, crossed thebridge over the Eume and headed to medieval Pontedeume(tower of Andrade, Church of Santiago). Via Perbes, they arrivedat San Martn de Tiobre (Romanesque temple) and passed overthe Ponte Vella bridge to get to the town of Betanzos (historic-artistic ensemble; notable Romanesque Church of Santiago).Through Requin, they reached Bruma, a meeting point with thebranch from A Corua.
