\t\t\t\tBecause Spain don\u2019t be only sun, beach and beautiful girls I try to guide you for one of the most impressive monuments of the spanish culture: the Santiago\u2019s Way; but not only exist monuments, as well it\u2019s a very important part of spanish history. I live in a city call Astorga, placed in middle of the Way, and every morning I can see from my room\u2019s window some pilgrims with their knapsacks to back. Are thousands the pilgrims of many nationalities that cross it throughout the whole year, especially between may and september. They make the Way well walking, in bike or a length walking and other length in another transport vehicle. When they\u2019re very tired or well for to finish any long stage, they can take a bus between city and city.<\/p>\n
\nThe Way begins the Pyrenees and comes from France. It crosses all the north of the Iberian Peninsula, of East on West. It\u2019s a pilgrimages route arisen in the Middle Ages acquaintance too like \u201cRoute Jacobea\u201d. The Way\u2019s objective is to reach Santiago de Compostela, in the La Coru\u00f1a\u00b4s province, where supposedly found the relics of the Apostle Santiago. According to the legend, the way was originated at the beginning of the IXth century and it is placed on a former Roman causeway. Coinciding with the most splendour age to \u201cRoute Jacobea\u201d many lodgings arise along the Way where to give cover to the pilgrims. Nowadays the price of the lodgings is more or less 3 Euros, food and bed included, depending on the place. Former two principal routes existed from France: both principal routes go out from Somport passing then for Jaca, or from Roncesvalles and Pamplona. It are unified in Puente la Reina and go towards Estella, Logro\u00f1o, N\u00e1jera and Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Immediately it continues for Burgos, Castrojeriz, Fr\u00f3mista, Carri\u00f3n, Sahag\u00fan, Le\u00f3n, Astorga, Ponferrada and Villafranca. Ultimately it passes for Cebrero, Portomar\u00edn, Triascatela and Palas, to conclude in Santiago de Compostela.<\/p>\n
\nThe people who begins the Way they don\u00b4t chase only religious or mystical aims, but also cultural aims. It\u2019s a way of initiation framed between the biggest initiations ways of the mankind\u2019s history. It\u2019s hard to cross it; long treks under the burning sun, hunger, cold nights … but anyhow the people continue doing it. Mystery! Mysticism, faith, personal overcoming? Come, come to discover it, kids. It\u2019s the only and incomparable experience.<\/p>\n
