The Mediatization of Camino De Santiago: Between the Pilgrimage Narrative and Media Circulation of the Narrative

Pilgrimage narratives on the Camino de Santiago have evolved from intimate, delayed storytelling to widely circulated media products, fundamentally altering both the experience and its narration. This shift, driven by technological advancements like smartphones and social media (e.g., Facebook, blogs), transforms personal accounts into public content, influencing how pilgrims perceive and share their journey. The study analyzed online narratives to reveal this mediatization process, demonstrating how media circulation reshapes traditional pilgrimage dynamics.
