Program Description
El camino de Santiago de Compostela (or Way of Saint James) is a three-week course in northern Spain, viewed by some as a pilgrimage and by others as a cultural, cross-country trek. The camino is a museum of over 800 kilometers. One thousand years of pilgrimages have left a treasury of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque art along the way to Compostela. This course will study the religious, historical, artistic, and cultural importance of the Camino throughout its history. The course will examine the different aspects prior and during the actual pilgrimage. Prerequiste: None, although knowing some basic Spanish would be helpful and may enrich your experience.
