While dedicating a month of your life to walk the Camino may be admirable, it doesn't work
00:00:00
for everyone. But any traveler can use this route as a sightseeing spine and as an opportunity
00:00:04
to appreciate some of the joys and lessons that come with being a pilgrim.
00:00:10
Just five miles before the Spanish border stands the French Basque town of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port.
00:00:15
Traditionally, Santiago-bound pilgrims would gather here to cross the Pyrenees and continue
00:00:20
their march through Spain.
00:00:26
Visitors to this popular town
00:00:27
are a mix of tourists and pilgrims.
00:00:29
At the Camino office,
00:00:32
pilgrims check in
00:00:33
before their long journey to Santiago.
00:00:34
They pick up a kind of pilgrim's passport.
00:00:36
They'll get it stamped at each stop
00:00:40
to prove they walked the whole way
00:00:42
and earned their Compostela certificate.
00:00:44
Walking the entire 500-mile-long route
00:00:47
takes about five weeks.
00:00:50
That's about 15 miles a day
00:00:52
with an occasional day of rest.
00:00:53
The route is well marked with yellow arrows and scallop shells.
00:00:56
The scallop shell is the symbol of both St. James and the Camino.
00:01:01
Common on the Galician coast, the shells were worn by medieval pilgrims
00:01:05
as a badge of honor to prove they made it.
00:01:09
The traditional gear has barely changed.
00:01:12
A gourd for drinking water, just the right walking stick,
00:01:15
and a scallop shell dangling from each backpack.
00:01:18
The slow pace and need for frequent rest breaks
00:01:23
provide plenty of opportunity for reflection,
00:01:32
religious and otherwise.
00:01:35
For some, leaving behind a stone
00:01:37
symbolizes unloading a personal burden.
00:01:39
The first person to make this journey
00:01:44
was St. James himself.
00:01:45
After the death and resurrection of Christ,
00:01:47
the apostles traveled far and wide
00:01:49
to spread the Christian message.
00:01:51
Supposedly, St. James went on a missionary trip
00:01:53
from the Holy Land all the way to this remote corner
00:01:55
of northwest Spain.
00:01:57
According to legend, in the year 813,
00:01:59
St. James' remains were discovered
00:02:02
in the town that would soon bear his name.
00:02:04
People began walking there to pay homage to his relics.
00:02:07
After a 12th-century pope decreed
00:02:11
that the pilgrimage could earn forgiveness for your sins,
00:02:12
the popularity of the Camino de Santiago soared.
00:02:15
The Camino also served a political purpose.
00:02:23
It's no coincidence that the discovery of St. James' remains
00:02:25
happened when Muslim Moors controlled most of Spain.
00:02:28
The whole phenomenon of the Camino
00:02:31
helped fuel the European passion to retake Spain
00:02:33
and push the Moors back into Africa.
00:02:36
But by about 1500,
00:02:38
with the dawn of the Renaissance and the Reformation,
00:02:40
interest in the Camino died almost completely.
00:02:43
Then, in the 1960s,
00:02:46
a handful of priests reestablished the tradition.
00:02:48
The route has since enjoyed a huge resurgence,
00:02:51
with 100,000 pilgrims trekking to Santiago each year.
