As we have already pointed out on numerous occasions, the Camino de
Santiago weaves an enormous network of routes throughout the Spanish
territory, and in all the autonomous communities there is a path that
connects with the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. This time,
it is time to talk about the Catalan Way.
There are as many alternative routes of the Camino de Santiago as there
are pilgrims who pass through them. This is why there are some Jacobean
routes that fall into oblivion, such as the Camino Olvidado (Forgotten
Way) or Old Way of St. James.
As you may already know, there are a large number of secondary routes that
link the Camino de Santiago with the whole of Spain, to the point of
developing a network of Caminos that cover the entire peninsular
territory. On this occasion, we will talk about one of the most important
routes in the south, the Camino Mozarabe.
There is a curiosity that escapes most people and that is that there is a
fork in the road, once you reach the town of San Vicente de la Barquera,
called the Camino Lebaniego, which has a history of more than 500 years.
