Ultreia!<\/strong> Here is a little word from Santiago’s vocabulary,\u00a0just as strange as\u00a0it is\u00a0famous<\/strong>. Exchanged between pilgrims, printed on papers, carved into wood or rocks, you can see\/hear it pretty much everywhere<\/strong> along the Ways.<\/p>\n

Let’s discover a medieval saying that managed to\u00a0stay young!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Latin origins<\/h2>\n

Some say that<\/strong> “Ultreia” came up in Spain , Galicia or France. That the word comes from archaic Spanish or old French. That it appeared thanks to pilgrims and on the Camino de Santiago. These affirmations are\u00a0mostly guesses<\/strong> (or even inventions), because\u00a0a word’s origin is always difficult to understand… What is certain is, it’s completely useless to look it up in a French or Spanish dictionary:\u00a0Ultreia<\/em> is an expression in\u00a0Latin!<\/strong> And it’s actually a 2-parts word, split between “ultr” and “eia”.<\/p>\n
