About us

We, the founding members of the European Jacobean Union, known as Europa Compostela, have joined forces to launch the following project:

– Support and sustain associated Jacobean associations and federations on the European continent in their most important activities: informing people who wish to walk the Camino de Santiago, facilitating their plans, and providing hospitality along the way.

– Represent the European Jacobean associations and federations that will adhere to the Europa Compostela Statute, serving as a privileged interlocutor before the European Union, the Council of Europe, UNESCO, local groups, civil institutions, and other institutions on the Ways of Saint James.

– Promote the fundamental values ​​that characterize the Camino de Santiago in all its historical, cultural, humanistic, and spiritual dimensions, including sharing, solidarity, and tolerance of personal aspirations, based on the ethics of the Camino.

– Cooperate and ensure communication and coordination with other non-associated Jacobean associations and with civil and religious institutions within the framework of the interests of the Ways
of St. James.
