Santiago
de Compostela, next to Rome and Jerusalem, is an important pilgrimage
route for christians. According to the legend, the apostle Saint James
is buried in the cathedral. Modern science has disputed the fact that
the apostle ever reached Spain, however, thousands of people annually
make the pilgrimage either by foot, horse, or on bicycle. The historical
atmosphere and the spiritual adventure, as well as the physical challenges,
cast their spell on the contemporary traveller.

All through Europe a network of
paths exist which unite on the western side of the Pyrennees. The spanish
portion of this route has become known as 'Camino de Santiago'.
