A shared area of universal values
Hospitality, the welcoming of the pilgrim is a value which for centuries has been considered the cornerstone of the Camino de Santiago. A form of spirituality poetically depicted in the photographs which Manuel G. Vicente took along the Camino, on the route and in hostels during recent decades. The heart-warming welcome is fused with the experience of the encounter, solidarity, friendship and mutual understanding. Added to this are the values of the landscapes, the shared history and culture.

An experience of communication and affection
As the days pass, communication at several levels occurs on the Camino. In the first place, the pilgrim communicates with himself, the interior language is essential in the pilgrimage experience. Introspection leads to reflexive, personalised self-construction, in which each person recreates his experiences through memory and affection.

In the second place, communication is established with the Camino itself and, finally, with the companions on the route, with the “hospitaleros” and the local people. The mental or spiritual space of the Camino de Santiago, evoked and recreated, is shaped through the affectivity of the person experiencing it; towns, cities, historical places and natural landscapes assume affective values in this spontaneous construction. A sensitive framework in which fertile communication takes place among the pilgrims, their natural environment and other persons.

The Way of St James in 3D is a 3-dimensional photography show featuring spectacular large pieces produced using a stereographic technique. The exhibition presents images of the pilgrimage routes, heritage sites, landscapes and pilgrims on the English Route, Fisterra–Muxía Route, Portuguese Route and Portuguese Coastal Route.

The title of the show is a reference to the sea of the Atlantic routes which open the exhibition, the sea of the Portuguese and Galician coasts that is so strongly linked to the Portuguese pilgrimage routes to Santiago. And it ends with the open ocean along the Costa da Morte, the physical and symbolic finishing point of the route to Fisterra and MuxĂ­a, after reaching Compostela.

Several Galician photographers became temporary pilgrims and travelled the Ways of Santiago, and with their particular way of seeing things, display the personal sensations which the route chosen suggested to them. The vision of the surrounding countryside, always changing depending on season, variable depending on the atmospheric conditions and the light, added to the experience of the pilgrimage itself and the cultural legacy it has stored up, with a presence in each of the ways, their rich historical heritage and the pilgrims who each year travel the Way of Saint James which leads us to Compostela.

In their images each one of these artists brings together a world which passes and also remains, living ways, filled with evocations and proposals. Pilgrimage routes to Santiago within the reach of all who become pilgrims and who wish to feel in their flesh a thousand year experience which binds them to a unique, sacred geography, to a universal, open itinerary, cradle of western culture and the refined expression of a civilisation advancing.

Once again, the images proposed by Via Iacobitana display the multiform essence of the Camino de Santiago, the generous and open meaning of the Jacobean pilgrimage, its inexhaustible and magnetic power of seduction. The artistic sensitivity and professionalism of the photographers who participate in the exhibition, captivated by the power and the values of a unique experience, forge a new iconographic legacy which transcends the ephemeral instant in which each photograph is made, in order to form part of a durable group, or Jacobean legacy, a treasure in a permanent state of recreation and renovation.

It evokes the medieval pilgrimage to Compostela in intimate contact with nature and a timeless past. The traveler retraces a spiritual itinerary marked by the footfalls of centuries of sojourners. This emotional charge, the legacy of a rich culture and still living traditions – hospitality being the most durable of its hallmarks – is reinforced by the steadfast endurance of places now celebrated as World Heritage Sites. The Camino’s hamlets and cities embrace historic cathedrals, monasteries, churches and sheltering pilgrims’ hospitals. Natural and manmade landscapes both bear witness to their intimate relationship to pilgrims of centuries long past and with the indelible routes that lead to Compostela, trails that define some of the most significant cultural itineraries of our times.

Savoring today’s pilgrimage to the tomb of St. James allows travelers to encounter themselves, but also to know other pilgrims, casual companions met along the Way and local residents, and to view the spectacular panorama of a universal and freely available Camino always reverenced as sacred space. At the end of this physical and spiritual adventure, arrival at the eternal city of Santiago de Compostela and its cathedral finds its fulfillment in an intimate pause in the silent tomb crypt of the Apostle and with a hug bestowed on his stature which presides over the high altar. A legendary complement to the Way of Saint James with its own allure is the trail that extends from Santiago to the continental Land’s End, Finisterrae or Cape Fisterra, a trail that intimates another aspiration of medieval travelers. After completing the Camino proper at the stately shrine of St. James, a final confrontation with the boundless sea offers deep emotional significance.
