What is the Jacobean Year?
Whenever St James´s day (25th July) falls on a
Sunday, the cathedral announces it a Holy or
Jubilee Year (Xacobeo in the Galician
Language). This happens with a regular
cadence of 6-5-6-11 years (The last Holy Year
was 2010). Next year will be a special year for
the city of Santiago de Compostela and the
St James Way since they will be celebrating
the Holy Year 2021 (Xacobeo).
The celebration of each Holy Year grants
indulgence to all those faithful who
voluntarily meet the following conditions:
Visit the Santiago de Compostela
Cathedral, in Galicia, Spain.
Pray regularly. It is also highly
recommended to attend the Holy Mass in

recommend some Camino de
Santiago Tours to consider for

Santiago de Compostela Cathedral.
Receive the sacraments of penance and
communion in the fifteen days prior to or
after visiting the Santiago de Compostela
Cathedral.
Furthermore, people usually access the
cathedral through the Holy Door which only
opens on this occasion.
If you are lucky during mass at the cathedral
the priest (takes quite a few!) will swing on
occasion the "Botafumeiro" (An XXL
incense burner). It swings up high from nave
to nave and weights about 120 pounds! This
was to clean the smell in the air since there
are so many pilgrims attending the mass.

the outdoors following

People walk the Camino de Santiago for many
different purposes: spiritual reasons, to tune
into themselves, seeking a new adventure or
a challenge, to enjoy the Galician food and
wine in a different and active way, to obtain
the Compostela certificate, fora promise or
simply because they enjoy walking in nature.
If you decide to walk the Camino de Santiago
and you’re going for it you might find
yourselves a bit overwhelmed with the many
Caminos there are nowadays to choose from:
The French Way, The Via de la Plata, The
Northern Camino, The English Camino Way,
The Portuguese Way, The Coastal Portuguese
Camino, The Primitive Way… and some other
lesser-known Camino de Santiago.
A heads-up, you will more likely get some
blisters on your feet, so wear comfortable
shoes and be mentally prepared for it. To get
the Compostela certificate you need to walk
at least 100km.

You have plenty of choices when it comes to
walking the Camino de Santiago. The next
step would be choosing how you want to walk
the Camino de Santiago. Not sure what
Camino to do?
Walking El Camino Santiago, but Slowly:
We believe in the benefits of the concept of
“Slow travel”. Slow travellers tend to like to
indulge in local cuisine, local entertainment
(instead of the tourist-created entertainment
you find at a resort), and more. Slow travel
offers a balanced itinerary where you can
enjoy the trip at your own pace yourself and
get rid of the stress of rushing around
allowing you to focus deeper on those things
that matter most to you. Slow travellers tend
to like to indulge in local cuisine.
Pick up the pace doing the Camino de
Santiago trail by bike : If you would like to
give a twist to this adventure, you could also
consider cycling the Camino. Cycling the
Camino is a very enjoyable experience to do
with your family or friends. Stages tend to be
longer but cycling the Camino gives you the
chance of seeing more Camino. You need to
stay relatively fit as it’s quite demanding and
you will spend 3 or 4 hours each day cycling.
In this case, you will need to finish 200
kilometers in order to get the Compostela
certificate.

Saddle up, but this time on a horse! More
and more followers during the last few years
and horse-riding the Camino de Santiago
became an alternative way to do the st james
pilgrimage for more intrepid travelers. In the
middle ages, pilgrims used to arrive in
Santiago on horseback. In fact, it is said that
King Alphonse II was the first-ever pilgrim to
visit the remains of St James, and he that did
it on horseback. This is also a fantastic and
unforgettable way to do the Camino with
your family or friends.
With the wind at your back sail the
Camino: We have rescued the Legend of
Saint James by offering a route that combines
sailing on a yacht through the Galician
Rias Baixas (Low Estuaries) with walking
along the traditional Portuguese route to
Santiago de Compostela. This trip offers
tradition, history, trekking, sailing, Galician
gastronomy, etc. The departure port is Vigo
and the arrival port is Boiro. It is a 3-day
sailing where we`ll be crossing the Rías of
Vigo, Pontevedra, and Arousa. On the last day
of our journey, we make the ascent of the
Ulla river by a small motorboat and we end
up walking the last 25km (or the last 7km if
you think it´s too much for you) to reach
Santiago de Compostela.

recently been resurrected between Braga and
Santiago de Compostela (El Camino de
Santiago da Geira Romana e dos Arrieiros).
The entire Camino is 239 km; which can be
completed in 10 stages although the climb
from Braga over the Portuguese mountains is
demanding. It´s more realistic and
comfortable to start in Ribadavia (or
anywhere in the Ribeiro area) which is 109
km from Santiago so pilgrims can get their
Compostela.

cultural realities that go beyond the
architectural and the museum-like, to enjoy a
privileged route on horseback with friends. It
is a route to disconnect from daily life,
relax and enjoy the horse and friends, and
at the same time, pay a visit to our best
friend and horseman Santiago the apostle so
that he continues to watch over us and give
us health to enjoy life.
