 For pilgrims to Spanish shrine, 'where' is not as important as 'why' | The-Tidings.com

Pope John Paul II traveled to Santiago in 1989 and declared the city to be the "spiritual capital of Europe." In 1987, the Council of Europe declared the pilgrims' route to be Europe's first cultural itinerary.
In Santiago, the old Hospital Real, a massive royal establishment where pilgrims could stay and receive care on arrival, is now a luxury hotel, but it still offers meals -- in the staff restaurant -- to those who can prove they have made the trip by foot, by cycle or on horseback.

Santiago de Compostela's need for a museum to complement the city's monuments and urban values, cataloging, conserving and publicising the existing rich and diverse movable heritage, dates from the mid-19th century and comes fundamentally under the protection of the
The archaeological discoveries made in Santiago cathedral, particularly after 1946, along with the enormous amounts of objects in the cellars of the cathedral buildings, gave rise to the first hope that a collection could be put together to explain the phenomenon of pilgrimage and the city's origins.

 Message to Archbishop Julián Barrio Barrio of Santiago de Compostela
Down the centuries, the different routes of the "Road to Santiago" have been taken by pilgrims on their way to what was then called "finis terrae", to obtain the much desired "pardon" and, at the same time, to welcome again into their hearts the light of the Gospel handed down by the Apostles.
Traveled in this spirit, the Road to Santiago can be a true process of conversion, a progressive taking off of the old man to put on the new, who is "created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness" (Eph 4:24).
In this way, while the Jubilee of Compostela imparts the bread of "pardon" and grace, it is changed into a bright flame of Christian life and a reserve of energy for the new paths of evangelization (cf.

 carta del Papa al Arzobispo de Santiago
Throughout the centuries the various routes of the "camino de Santiago" have been filled with pilgrims walking toward what was then called "finis terrae" in order to achieve the much longed for "pardon"and, at the same time, welcome once more in their heart the light of the Gospel transmitted by the Apostles.
Followed with this spirit, the camino de Santiago becomes a true process of conversion and a progressive shedding of one's former self, to become a new self, "created according to God, in the justice and sanctity of the truth" (Ef 2,24).
May they, the dear sons of Galicia and of Spain, as well as those coming from other lands, with her help and by the powerful intercession of the Apostle St. James progress materially and spiritually, in a climate of solidarity with the most needy and of peace for all.

Leon, with the important pilgrimage center of SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, had more ecclesiastical autonomy; being named finis terrae (the end of the earth), it lacked both outside interference and a proper church organization.
In 1088, the ARCHDIOCESE OF TOLEDO was reestablished (for Leon-Castile), in 1091 the ARCHDIOCESE OF TARRAGONA (for Catalonia-Aragon-Navarra).
Thus the Iberian peninsula's church organization, modelled by the political development, remained until it was thoroughly reformed late in the 15th century, under the rule of Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon.
