Psychology Today | 17.08.2026 03:23
The Camino de Santiago or “The Way,” is one of the world's oldest pilgrimages. For more than a thousand years, people from every walk of life have traveled across Europe to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. Today, people walk the Camino to seek healing, grieve, celebrate, find clarity, challenge themselves physically, or reconnect with what matters most. Whatever brings us to the Camino, it has a remarkable way of becoming the journey we need.
