Camino de Santiago
It is a dream of many people to walk on the famous Camino de Santiago once in a lifetime, even if there is no such one. Rather, the Way of St. James refers to all roads that lead west across the Pyrenees and unite on the old high medieval main traffic axis of northern Spain which leads from the former royal cities of Jaca, Pamplona, Estella, Burgos and Leon on to Galicia, more precisely to Santiago de Compostela and to Jacob’s tomb.
And so every year, especially in spring, thousands of people get ready and march, for a wide variety of reasons, be it because they need a break or are looking for a sporting challenge, deal with a difficult stroke of fate or just want to get to know the country and its people. The classic Way of St. James, also known as the Camino Frances, is around 800 km long, for which you should allow around five weeks.

A Roman military camp used to be located in the area around Santiago de Compostela. The region was later occupied by the Suebi and then by the Visigoths. Sometime in the first half of the 9th century AD Bishop Teodomiro claimed to have found some remains of Saint James. A new settlement and pilgrimage center was built around the site of the discovery. As the area was repeatedly the target of Viking attacks, a fortress was built to protect the holy site. Later the entire city was walled. In the course of time, Santiago de Compostela developed into a main Catholic shrine, which ranked third in terms of importance for the faithful after Rome and Jerusalem.
Capital of the Autonomous Community of Galicia
Today Santiago de Compostela is a very important city despite its only 100,000 inhabitants; it is the capital of the Autonomous Community of Galicia, has an airport and a university, is a bishop see and – as already described – a place of pilgrimage and destination of the Camino de Santiago. There is a large number of hotels within all price ranges in the city and its immediate vicinity. We would like to recommend one hotel to you: the San Francisco Hotel Monumente is a former monastery that has been converted into a top-class hotel. The hotel is located on the edge of the old town and in the immediate vicinity of the cathedral. It features comfortable rooms, a gourmet restaurant as well as an indoor pool and a jacuzzi.
Speaking of gourmet restaurants: Santiago de Compostela is not only known as a place of pilgrimage, but is also very popular with gourmets – there are around a dozen restaurants that are mentioned in the Michelin Guide. Whatever your reason for flying to Santiago de Compostela on a private jet is, give yourself plenty of time to relax and unwind.
