12 Recommended Camino De Santiago Tours 2021 Holy Year by Eatour Specialist Visit us 12 Recommended Camino de Santiago Tours 2021 Holy Year by EATour Specialist / What Camino de Santiago Tour should I do? Here we will recommend some Camino de Santiago Tours to consider for your next trip. Read More What is the Jacobean Year? Whenever St James´s day (25th July) falls on a Sunday, the cathedral announces it a Holy or Jubilee Year (Xacobeo in the Galician Language). This happens with a regular cadence of 6-5-6-11 years (The last Holy Year was 2010). Next year will be a special year for the city of Santiago de Compostela and the St James Way since they will be celebrating the Holy Year 2021 (Xacobeo). The celebration of each Holy Year grants indulgence to all those faithful who voluntarily meet the following conditions: Visit the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, in Galicia, Spain. Pray regularly. It is also highly recommended to attend the Holy Mass in / Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. Receive the sacraments of penance and communion in the fifteen days prior to or after visiting the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. Furthermore, people usually access the cathedral through the Holy Door which only opens on this occasion. If you are lucky during mass at the cathedral the priest (takes quite a few!) will swing on occasion the "Botafumeiro" (An XXL incense burner). It swings up high from nave to nave and weights about 120 pounds! This was to clean the smell in the air since there are so many pilgrims attending the mass. https://youtu.be/MYqfQXPGemA The Camino de Santiago walk is a great way to enjoy / the outdoors following along the ancient Pilgrimage way passing through quaint historic villages, green landscapes, etc... People walk the Camino de Santiago for many different purposes: spiritual reasons, to tune into themselves, seeking a new adventure or a challenge, to enjoy the Galician food and wine in a different and active way, to obtain the Compostela certificate, fora promise or simply because they enjoy walking in nature. If you decide to walk the Camino de Santiago and you’re going for it you might find yourselves a bit overwhelmed with the many Caminos there are nowadays to choose from: The French Way, The Via de la Plata, The Northern Camino, The English Camino Way, The Portuguese Way, The Coastal Portuguese Camino, The Primitive Way… and some other lesser-known Camino de Santiago. A heads-up, you will more likely get some blisters on your feet, so wear comfortable shoes and be mentally prepared for it. To get the Compostela certificate you need to walk at least 100km. / You have plenty of choices when it comes to walking the Camino de Santiago. The next step would be choosing how you want to walk the Camino de Santiago. Not sure what Camino to do? Walking El Camino Santiago, but Slowly: We believe in the benefits of the concept of “Slow travel”. Slow travellers tend to like to indulge in local cuisine, local entertainment (instead of the tourist-created entertainment you find at a resort), and more. Slow travel offers a balanced itinerary where you can enjoy the trip at your own pace yourself and get rid of the stress of rushing around allowing you to focus deeper on those things that matter most to you. Slow travellers tend to like to indulge in local cuisine. Pick up the pace doing the Camino de Santiago trail by bike : If you would like to give a twist to this adventure, you could also consider cycling the Camino. Cycling the Camino is a very enjoyable experience to do with your family or friends. Stages tend to be longer but cycling the Camino gives you the chance of seeing more Camino. You need to stay relatively fit as it’s quite demanding and you will spend 3 or 4 hours each day cycling. In this case, you will need to finish 200 kilometers in order to get the Compostela certificate. / Saddle up, but this time on a horse! More and more followers during the last few years and horse-riding the Camino de Santiago became an alternative way to do the st james pilgrimage for more intrepid travelers. In the middle ages, pilgrims used to arrive in Santiago on horseback. In fact, it is said that King Alphonse II was the first-ever pilgrim to visit the remains of St James, and he that did it on horseback. This is also a fantastic and unforgettable way to do the Camino with your family or friends. With the wind at your back sail the Camino: We have rescued the Legend of Saint James by offering a route that combines sailing on a yacht through the Galician Rias Baixas (Low Estuaries) with walking along the traditional Portuguese route to Santiago de Compostela. This trip offers tradition, history, trekking, sailing, Galician gastronomy, etc. The departure port is Vigo and the arrival port is Boiro. It is a 3-day sailing where we`ll be crossing the Rías of Vigo, Pontevedra, and Arousa. On the last day of our journey, we make the ascent of the Ulla river by a small motorboat and we end up walking the last 25km (or the last 7km if you think it´s too much for you) to reach Santiago de Compostela. / Here is a list of 12 Recommended Camino de Santiago tours: / Camino Santiago Tour: French Way in Galicia Guided or Independently Walking with baggage transfers / 1.

EMBODIED CONTESTATION: ALTERNATIVE RITUAL CONCLUSIONS ON THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO by CLARE VAN HOLM Under the Direction of Kathryn McClymond, PhD ABSTRACT Despite its nearly thousand year history as a Christian penitent ritual, the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage has undergone rapid transformation in the last three decades, attracting a specific community of people who see themselves as “authentic” Camino pilgrims. Upon arrival at the shrine of Santiago, the traditional end of the pilgrimage route, many pilgrims express feelings of dissatisfaction. Drawing upon field research and interviews, this paper analyzes the practices of pilgrims along the Camino de Santiago route, at the shrine in Santiago de Compostela, and at the alternative conclusion site in the Galician coastal town of Finisterre. I argue that pilgrim dissatisfaction relates to pilgrim experiences in Santiago that are incongruous with their pilgrimage up until that point. In response, pilgrims have created alternative ritual conclusions that more closely relate to their experience on the Camino route and affirm their identity as “authentic” pilgrims.

  • Dialectal, Historical and Sociolinguistic Aspects of Galician Intonation1

DIALECTAL, HISTORICAL AND SOCIOLINGUISTIC ASPECTS OF GALICIAN INTONATION1 Elisa FERNÁNDEZ REI Instituto da Lingua Galega - Universidade de Santiago de Compostela [email protected] Abstract Geoprosodic data are useful for studying language cHange and developing HypotHeses about tHe diachrony of intonation. In the case of Galician, it is particularly interesting to study varieties of Galician and Portuguese wHicH sHare a common origin but are separated by a long-standing political border. Work to date Has concluded tHat some of tHese intonation patterns present a prosodic continuum, but has also identified a large part of the Galician linguistic area where a widespread pattern is found that is unrelated to Portuguese. An approacH to the study of dialectology and linguistic cHange will be proposed which supplements traditional geoprosodic studies with sociolinguistic concepts such as contact between languages and language varieties. THis article will address Questions concerning interaction between geoprosodic variation and contact among languages and language varieties for tHe purpose of detecting ongoing prosodic change and describing prosodic convergence processes that affect coexisting language varieties in Galicia.

  • Perspectiva Histórica Del Conocimiento Geológico De Las Rías Gallegas
    Journal of Iberian Geology ISSN: 0378-102X 2000, vol. 26, 21-44 Perspectiva histórica del conocimiento geológico de las rías gallegas. An historical review of the geological studies of the Galician rias. G. MÉNDEZ y D. REY Departamento de Xeociencias Mariñas e Ordenación do Territorio. Universidade de Vigo, 36200 Vigo. RESUMEN La compleja problemática referente a la evolución geológica de las rías gallegas ha generado una interesante producción científica cuyo conocimiento previo es importante para abordar cualquier estudio referente a la geología de las rías o costa gallegas. Su evolución muestra en buena medida el progreso de la disciplina geológica y la introducción progresiva de conceptos y teorías a tra- vés de las personas e instituciones entorno a las que se realizaron las investiga- ciones y el contexto histórico. Desde la adopción del término ría propuesto por Von Richthofen en 1886 para expresar un tipo de costa caracterizada por la existencia de un valle ocupado por el mar, diversos autores han tratado de ex- plicar su evolución geológica. En este sentido se han podido establecer dos fa- ses. La primera, que se extiende hasta la primera mitad del s. XX, se caracteri- za por la contribución de geógrafos extranjeros. Por el contrario, durante la segunda etapa, estas investigaciones se realizan inicialmente bajo los auspicios del Laboratorio Xeolóxico de Laxe (A Coruña), y con posterioridad desde las universidades gallegas. Palabras clave: rías, historia de la ciencia, Galicia, costa. ABSTRACT The complex problem of the origin of the Galician rias has generated an in- teresting scientific discussion which is important to know when approaching their study.

  • The Camino De Santiago IV
    The Camino de Santiago IV In 1491, Finisterre was thought to be the end of the earth. During the Middle Ages, many pilgrims who completed their pilgrimage at the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela would continue their walk, an additional 40 miles or so, to arrive here at the northernmost tip of Spain to look out over the Atlantic, nothing but endless ocean. This was as far as they could walk in this direction; this was their end of the earth. They must have wondered. In 2000, after completing my own pilgrimage, I took a bus to the base of those very same ocean-side bluffs and hiked up their sides so that I, too, could look at what they saw. I sat there for hours, looking. I also wondered. I don’t know what a religious experience is, and for this reason, I cannot say I have ever had such an experience, but I do know that those hours spent looking over the ocean from the end of the earth were memorable ones, hours that will never be erased until I am gone. Perhaps it was the afterglow of accomplishment of having walked 450 miles, perhaps it was the relief I felt because I no longer had to force myself to strap on a backpack and undertake yet another nine-hour walk, or perhaps I was simply on holiday. I do not know. Perhaps it was the stillness of the day or the rustle of the waves below, the touch of salt in the air, or the joyful shriek of the gull.
