Cosmopolitan Spain Traveler Fall 2018

Cosmopolitan Spain Traveler

Walk. Discover the Northern Route, the Coastal Route, the oldest of the pilgrimage routes to Santiago. Its immense natural and scenic heritage offers pilgrims the best of the North. In the Basque Country , walk to San Telmo Chapel or Itzurun Beach, dis- cover the geological treasure known as ‘flysch’ in the cliffs en route to Deba.

Options on the Northern Route in Cantabria include boat trips to enjoy the landscape diversity. The Liébana Route (2017 Jubilee Year) leads to Santo Toribio de Liébana, one of the five holy places, along with Rome, Jerusalem, Caravaca de la Cruz and Santiago de Com- postela.

Tradition has that the tomb of St. James the Apostle was discovered under the reign of Alfonso II of Asturias , called the Chaste. Alfonso II is considered the first pilgrim, the first to travel the Northern Route, which starts in Oviedo. In the Mariña Lucense region of Galicia , we find a ‘cathedral’ sculpted by the power of the sea. Nearby awaits the quintessential cathedral, Santiago de Compostela .
