Program Description

El camino de Santiago de Compostela (or Saint James Way) is a three-week course in Spain. The Way of St. James is a museum of over 800 kilometers. A thousand years of pilgrimages have left a treasure 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.
