Vézelay-Fisterra: the other pilgrimage Since de middle age, the pilgrimage route to Santiago has not had as many pilgrims as in this holy year 2004. We have followed the «Via Lemovicensis» from Vézelay, in the Burgundy, to Fisterra. So artistic, cultural and religious learning can be acquired on the way and you can get to know the people and your inner self.
Camino de Santiago: The bridge over the river Arga is one of the most beautiful of the Romanesque in Spain. It is thought to have been built in the 11th century by doña Mayor, the wife of Sancho III of Navarre.
