The Galician Government, through the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, has been collaborating since 2015 with the Portuguese authorities in the promotion of this regulation. In fact, in the last two years, it participated in several of the meetings and consultations which arranged the draft of said Decree Law, with the aim of there being a harmonisation with the management carried out in Galicia and Spain concerning the Camino de Santiago. In fact, the signposting guidelines approved by the Spanish Executive and the autonomous communities in the Jacobeo Council have been assumed as a reference.

The decree seeks to define the common criteria applicable to the official recognition of the Camino de Santiago, its safeguarding, enhancing and promotion. To this end, the Camino de Santiago Executive Board (CECS) is expected to be created as the coordinating body in the Portuguese national sphere, as well as a Scientific Council for the Camino de Santiago.

This approval opens a new stage in the management of the Camino de Santiago in Portugal and, at the same time, a new area of collaboration between Galicia and Portugal, extending the scope of the close cooperation maintained between both territories during the last years. In this sense, the Decree Law will allow to start working together around the pilgrimage to Compostela with the immediate objective of celebrating the Xacobeo 2021.

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 Muxía, after reaching Compostela.

Os Caminhos de Santiago na Galiza (Trancoso) https://blog.caminodesantiago.gal/en/exhibition-via-iacobitana-the-ways-of-santiago-in-galicia-trancoso/ https://blog.caminodesantiago.gal/en/exhibition-via-iacobitana-the-ways-of-santiago-in-galicia-trancoso/#respond Fri, 01 Jun 2018 08:07:19 +0000 http://blog.caminodesantiago.gal/?p=8547 Read more]]> The Via Iacobitana Exhibition is a new expression of contemporary creativity linked to the Jacobean culture. 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.
