Summary

The Camino Francés, spanning nearly 800 kilometers through Spain, is part of a vast network of pilgrimage routes that have attracted travelers from across Europe and beyond for over a millennium. This study highlights the European dimension of the Camino de Santiago, tracing its historical significance as one of the three major Christian pilgrimages since the 9th century. It reveals that pilgrims from diverse regions—including Germany, Scandinavia, France, England, Ireland, Italy, Poland, and Armenia—have contributed to the route's enduring legacy. The research approach combines historical analysis with a focus on the transnational nature of these paths, emphasizing their role in cultural and spiritual exchange.
