Do you know the “acceptable” ways to get to Santiago and obtain the Compostela? On foot, on horseback, by bike. Well done! \ud83d\udc4d But what do you know about the more unusual ways to get to Santiago<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days, it’s possible to do your pilgrimage in surprising ways<\/strong>! Some of them were born from the recent popularity of the Camino<\/strong> and will undoubtedly raise a few eyebrows\u2026 Others are rooted in History and the Jacobean traditions <\/strong>despite their unusual features for nowadays pilgrims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, let’s discover some surprising ways to get to Santiago<\/strong>! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Camino de… St James<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start slowly, with some “unusual” anchored in History<\/strong>. To do that, let’s head to Ireland and the UK<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"unusual
The Kerry Camino<\/em>, a popular Irish path to start your Camino (and to start stamping your credential!)

But let’s stop on a small galician Camino first… The Camino Ingl\u00e9s<\/strong> is inspired by the route pilgrims from the British Isles and Northern Europe used to take to get to Santiago. After crossing the seas, they arrived in Galicia to continue and complete their pilgrimage on land. Today, pilgrims can still travel this Camino from A Coru\u00f1a or Ferrol<\/strong>, at respectively ~75km and ~115km from Santiago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the modern obligation to travel at least 100km to obtain the Compostela, pilgrims have no other choice than to start from Ferrol<\/strong>, even though this port was not prevalent in the past\u2026 This observation has led Irish and British pilgrims to ask for an exception to the “100km” rule<\/strong>.
In 2017, the Cathedral agreed<\/strong> that pilgrims could leave from A Coru\u00f1a and receive the Compostela, provided that they would have first covered the remaining 25km in their country<\/strong> (and be able to prove it)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how the Celtic Camino<\/em><\/strong> was born! How does it work? The principle is simple: pilgrims walk at least 25km on Irish routes<\/strong>. They can choose to go on a pilgrimage route or a simple hiking trail.
In any case, pilgrims leave with their credential<\/strong> for the Camino de Santiago, which they stamp as they go. At the end of their journey, they contact the Irish Camino Society that validates the start of their pilgrimage and issues them with a certificate of completion, the Celtic Camino Compostela<\/em><\/strong>.
The rest is more usual. Pilgrims resume their pilgrimage in A Coru\u00f1a<\/strong> and take the Camino Ingl\u00e9s until Santiago<\/strong>. There, they can present their Celtic Compostela with their credential at the pilgrim’s office to get the Compostela!
The principle also applies in other countries, such as the UK. In this case, no intermediate validation or Compostela, but the rest is pretty much the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Camino on water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A floating pilgrimage<\/strong>\u2026 Idyllic? Strange? As mentioned earlier, the pilgrimage to Santiago was not necessarily done on land<\/strong>. Many pilgrims made all or part of their journey by sea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"unusual
Sail the Way<\/em>, a maritime route for sea pilgrims
Photo: Navegantes Oceanicos<\/a> <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

With this in mind, the Association of Marinas of Northern Spain North Marina<\/em> worked to revive a maritime route of Santiago<\/strong>. In 2016, the Camino de Santiago do Mar<\/strong> was born. The initiative is supported by Galicia and the Cathedral of Santiago<\/strong>: “sea pilgrims” are considered and welcomed just like “land pilgrims”.
Anyone can complete his or her pilgrimage from one of the twenty ports along the Spanish coast<\/strong>, or even from La Rochelle in France. Like land pilgrims, they carry a credential, which they stamp at every ports where they stop at. To validate their pilgrimage, 2 requirements<\/strong>: complete at least 100 nautical miles<\/strong> (~185km\/~115miles) and the last stage on foot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to sail in a group? Every year, North Marina<\/em> organizes the event Sail the Way – Navega el Camino<\/strong>. The pilgrimage lasts 15 days and brings together about 30 ships<\/strong>. Interested pilgrims simply sign up to join the fleet. No boat? No problem! It’s also possible to sign up to join a crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Camino on water (bis, but sporty version)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some will tell me that doing the Camino while comfortably kicking back on a boat seriously lacks of physical effort. Of sore muscles, of blisters! For this type of pilgrim, the solution exists. How can they combine maritime pilgrimage and workout? By rowing to Santiago<\/strong>, of course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"unusual
The Camino Voyage<\/em>: 5 artists, 2,500km rowing from Dublin to Santiago!
Photo: The Camino Voyage<\/a><\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Starting from the nearest port and row your Way to Santiago, what a brilliant idea, isn’t it? Like these 5 artists who made their pilgrimage in a traditional Irish boat<\/strong>, from Dublin to Santiago. The crew consisted of a writer, two musicians, an artist and a stonecutter. After building their boat, they left in 2014 for a 2500km journey<\/strong> (1553 miles) to France, then along the French and Spanish coasts until La Coru\u00f1a. They finally arrived in Santiago in 2016.
The Camino Voyage<\/em><\/strong> was born from their adventure: a documentary praised by critics and winning awards at multiple film festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, such a expedition is not for everyone<\/strong> (although\u2026!). For a similar adventure but more on the kick back side, how about a kayak pilgrimage<\/strong>? Far-fetched? Well, not so much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea is rooted in the Jacobean tradition<\/strong> and specifically, the episode of the Translation of the Apostle<\/strong>. Indeed, the legend tells that the body of Saint James arrived in Spain by boat from Palestine. His disciples sailed back up the Arousa and Ulla rivers and landed in Padr\u00f3n<\/strong> before they buried his remains. The translation is still of great importance in the estuary, where a maritime procession is held every summer to commemorate and celebrate the event.
So, a kayak Camino offers a similar route on the Camino del Mar<\/strong>. The kayaking pilgrims paddle up the estuary to Padr\u00f3n and walk to Santiago. The adventure takes 6 days for about 80km kayaking and 25km walking<\/strong> (92 and 15 miles). The certificate of completion pilgrims get is a little different from the Compostela: it’s the Translatio Xacobea<\/em><\/strong>. Specific to the Translation, it’s issued in Padr\u00f3n upon presentation of a stamped credential that attest of a minimum of 40 nautical miles (~75km\/46miles) covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Camino on<\/s> UNDERwater<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Boats, rowboats, kayaks\u2026 Some pilgrims may think it still lacks water! Kind of hard to do better, it seems. Wrong! This time, let’s go under the sea for a diving Camino<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"unusual
An underwater marking pointing to Santiago on the Camino de Santiagua

The idea came from a pilgrim who was passionate about the sea and the ocean floor. Enthusiastic and motivated to combine the experience of the Camino with diving, he drove a small team to think up a new adventure: the underwater Camino of Santiagua<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The itinerary consists of 21 stages along the Spanish coast<\/strong>, between Hondarribia (Irun) and La Coru\u00f1a. Each stage is made of a stretch on sea<\/strong>, with diving spots, and stretch on land<\/strong>, to be done on foot. A series of dedicated Camino way-markers<\/strong> mark the passage of this new route, both underwater and on land. The peregrinosub<\/em><\/strong> (submarine pilgrim) can complement their credential with a special Camino de Santiagua diving log book<\/strong>.
Once in Ferrol or A Coru\u00f1a, peregrinosub<\/em>s become simple peregrinos <\/em>to complete their pilgrimage in a more traditional way<\/strong> and obtain their Compostela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, a group of 4 divers inaugurated the Camino de Santiagua<\/strong> by completing the entire route. They left on July 25th, completing 34 dives for 246 nautical miles<\/strong> (455km\/283miles) and 180km on foot<\/strong> (207 miles). They finished their adventure 1 month later in Santiago and arrived in full diving gear in front of the cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new underwater route is still under development<\/strong>. For the moment, interested peregrinosubs<\/em> must go through the Santiagua team<\/strong>!
The Camino is open from July to September to seasoned divers<\/strong>, upon registration. The itinerary is divided into 2 “packs” to facilitate the adventure: one for the section in Pais Vasco\/Cantabria<\/strong> and one for the saction in Asturias\/Galicia<\/strong>. More detailed information are available on the website and on request.
To get the Compostela, be careful!<\/strong> Remember that the Camino Ingl\u00e9s from A Coru\u00f1a is only 75km long\u2026 At the end of your Camino under the sea, prefer a start from Ferrol<\/strong> to complete your 100km, with your “normal” credential duly stamped!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Camino on rails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’ve talked a lot about water so far\u2026 Let’s change the scenery! How about a pilgrimage by train<\/strong> throughout Spain?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"unusual
Traveling by train is a whole philosophy by itself! Why not couple it with the Camino’s?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The concept comes from the program Galicia a todo tren<\/em><\/strong>, carried out by the Xunta de Galicia and the RENFE. The purpose of this program is to combine tourism in Galicia with “luxury” travel by train<\/strong>. There are several type of offers, each dedicated to a destination or a theme.
In 2015, the first Tren del Peregrino<\/strong> was launched. It works like a stay in a moving hotel<\/strong>. Passengers enjoy a cabin with private bathroom, breakfast is included and days are spent on day trips. Stages of the Camino are proposed<\/strong> among other various activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The train’s itinerary and the Caminos vary<\/strong> from time to time. The first editions left from Madrid, with stages on the Caminos Franc\u00e9s and Portugu\u00e9s. The most recent departures are from Oviedo and propose stages on the Camino Ingl\u00e9s.
Originally, the stages only allowed passengers to get a visit certificate at the cathedral. They are now designed so that pilgrims can be eligible for the Compostela<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if it suffered from the pandemic<\/strong> in 2020 and 2021, the Tren del Peregrino still exists! A strange way to do the Camino<\/strong>\u2026 but a way nevertheless! So why not spend part of your next pilgrimage on rail?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Camino without Santiago<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, here’s a Camino de Santiago\u2026 that doesn’t even go to Santiago<\/strong>! Well, I promised you unusual stuff, didn’t I? Let’s head to the tropics, to the Camino de Gran Canaria<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"unusual
The Camino de Gran Canarias, so unusual but WOW! Majestic!
Photo: <\/em>\ud83d\ude4f Blog El Camino de Santiago desde Asturias<\/a><\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The first time I heard about a Camino de Santiago in the Canary Islands, I thought it was ridiculous<\/strong>. New sections of Caminos are invented all the time, yeah, well\u2026 But on an island so far from Santiago, come on<\/strong>! (Did I say to myself)
And then, curious as I am, I did some research. Of course, guess what? Santiago in Gran Canaria actually has deep historical roots<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presence of a cult of St. James in the Canary Islands dates back to the Middle Ages<\/strong>. The legend describes a Spanish ship caught in a storm and its crew saved by the mercy of Santiago<\/strong>. True or not, what is certain is, the cult of St. James was established as the Spanish arrived in the archipelago. Fom there, it only grew stronger throughout centuries!
In the 20th century, the revival of the pilgrimage to Santiago in Europe also reached the Canary Islands. Its main sanctuary dedicated to St. James, the church of Santiago de los Caballeros<\/strong>, received from the Popes the right to celebrate the Jacobean years with the same privileges as Santiago de Compostela<\/strong> (plenary indulgences).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Camino de Gran Canaria is the fruit of all this History\u2026 Officially recognized as a “Camino de Santiago”, it crosses the island from south to north<\/strong>. The itinerary is up to ~75 km <\/strong>(~46 miles) long<\/strong> with a significant difference in altitude<\/strong>. It’s often suggested to walk it in 3 stages<\/strong>, but it’s possible to cut the route differently!
The official path was determined in 2020 only, so the Camino is still in development.<\/strong> The marking is not finished yet<\/strong> and may be absent on certain sections. Moreover, there are no pilgrim hostels (yet)<\/strong>. No need to worry though! There are good maps and GPX tracks<\/strong> and a fair number of touristic accommodations<\/strong> available to pilgrims.
Just like with the Caminos in Europe, pilgrims in Gran Canaria can use a credential<\/strong> and stamp it during their journey to receive a certificate of completion<\/strong>. For those who don’t set out for religious or spiritual purposes, the credential is replaced by a “Hiker’s Logbook”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Camino… without Camino<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hey hey, congratulations! You made it all the way \ud83d\ude09 A last curiosity for the road?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Camino that didn’t go to Santiago, here we are, doing a Camino without doing the Camino<\/strong>! Because yes, it’s really possible, it’s then a Camino by proxy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"unusual
Compostela by proxy: it reads “Vicarie pro” followed by the name of the person the certificate is dedicated to<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, there’s nothing funny about it\u2026 It’s possible for a pilgrim to do the Camino in the name of someone else<\/strong>, if the person is dead or ill, for example. This intention is officially recognized by the cathedral of Santiago<\/strong>.
Contrary to the movie The Way<\/em>, the Compostela can’t be issued in the name of a person who is not present. The name that’s written on the Compostela is the one of the pilgrim who made the pilgrimage. In the case of a Camino by proxy, a special mention is added: “Vicarie pro<\/em> + the name of the person”<\/strong>. Vicarie pro<\/em> is simply Latin for “in the name of” or “on behalf of”.
Some pilgrims also do this for institutions or associations. The name added in this case is the one of the organization they walked for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A less gloomy touch to finish! Did you know that pilgrimage by proxy was very common in the past<\/strong>? Since the Middle Ages, some people decided to send someone else<\/strong> to do the pilgrimage in their place. This way, many pilgrims were actually paid to go to Santiago for someone else’s benefit<\/strong>.
A dream job, right? Earning a living by doing the Camino! Well, surprisingly enough, it still exists today. Not very often, but still! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
