Today we travel to Santiago de Compostela.

After your arrival in Santiago de Compostela you will have time for a walking tour around the cathedral. This is an important year for Santiago – the final destination of Camino de Santiago – Xacobeo 2021.

As many pilgrims and devotees know, in 2021 the Xacobeo 2021 is celebrated, the first Holy since 2010. Only during the Jacobean Holy Year the Holy Door or Puerta Santa located at the back of the Santiago Cathedral stays opened. This is a tradition of great importance for Catholics and this happens only 14 times each century. Visitors to the Cathedral can enter through the Holy Door and take part in a pilgrimage ritual. You can descend to the tomb of St James before climbing a stairwell to exit to the outdoors. The symbolism is that the descent represents the pilgrimage, and the exit into the sunshine represents redemption and access to a new life.
