For centuries the faithful have been drawn to make the trek across Spain to reach the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela and pay homage to the shrine of St James.
The popularity of the Camino has exploded in recent years, with 350.000 pilgrims in 2019.
The trek, known as a haven for self reflection, is unquestionably an unparallel experience and this app, shot in spectacular environments, aims to immerse you in the culture, history and human richness of the Camino de Santiago.
What better way to enjoy the last few weeks of Spain’s lockdown by virtually exploring the country’s breathtaking landscapes.
