Walking the Way: The Camino to Santiago de Compostela
Molly Metherd
May 11–23, 2024
Buen Camino!
For over one thousand years, pilgrims from around the world have been walking the Camino to Santiago de Compostela where the remains of the Apostle Saint James are buried. Consequently, the Camino has been a path for the transmission of ideas, language and culture.
On this trip, we will explore the historic, artistic, social, economic, and religious development of the medieval pilgrimage in the broader context of the history of Spain. We will meet in Madrid then travel to Segovia to see the Roman aqueduct and the castle of the Catholic Kings Ferdinand and Isabella. From there we will drive to León, our first city on the Camino. We will tour gothic cathedrals, a templar castle and an active, sixth century Benedictine monastery. These institutions are all part of a vast network to serve pilgrims along the Camino.
