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 Muxía, after reaching Compostela.

The free shows and concerts included in Experience the Camino will showcase the English Route – which has already been travelled by 7,600 people so far this year, making it the fifth most popular choice – and the Fisterra–Muxía Route.

The programming for the Experience the Camino initiative, intended to promote and highlight the English Route and the Fisterra–Muxía Route, will bring music and theatre to the streets and squares of the 27 municipalities that make up these pilgrimage routes of the Way of St. James in the province of A Coruña. Experience the Camino will spread the spirit of the pilgrimage through the performing arts and music during the months of August and September.

The activities will be accompanied by a travelling exhibition about these two routes.

Dous no Camiño (Two on the Camino) is a performance by Fran Rei and Isabel Risco, directed by Avelino González from the text by Roi Vidal and Xurxo Barcala. It depicts two pilgrims walking and discovering the different spots along the English Route and the Fisterra–Muxía Route as they pass through each of the towns on the way. In addition, along the same lines as Dous no Camiño, Fran Rei and Isabel Risco will present another performance, created and directed by them, in municipalities and at some pilgrim hostels, in which they will interact with citizens and people doing the pilgrimage in each location. In this performance, Athanasius and Theodore, the two disciples of St. James who transported his remains to Galicia by sea, find themselves lost following a journey through time lasting several centuries. They are surprised by the elements of modern life they find, while at the same time discovering that the essential aspects of the Way of St. James – its natural surroundings, scenery and monuments – have not changed.

Adding a musical touch to the programme will be the group Caxade, a personal folk–pop project of Alonso Caxade.

Having examined the petition made by several foreign associations, confraternities, the Association of Galicia of Friends of the Camino de Santiago, as well as by the Town Hall of A Coruña and several Jacobean Institutions so that the “Compostela” might be granted to the pilgrims who leave A Coruña on a pilgrimage to the sepulchre of the glorious Apostle Saint James, it has been agreed with the approval of the Archbishop, that this document may be issued to the following pilgrims:

1. Given the historically documented tradition of the arrival of numerous pilgrims through the Gate of A Coruña, the possibility to obtain the Compostela is granted to those who, having travelled part of the Camino in their countries or regions of origin, travel on foot the distance which separates the Port of A Coruña from the Cathedral of Compostela.

2. Moreover, the inhabitants of the city of A Coruña and its surrounding district who, “devotionis causa”, visit the Jacobean areas of their city and travel the rest of the pilgrimage on foot to the sepulchre of Saint James the Apostle.

3. As regards pilgrims or walkers who do not comply with these conditions, these may, however, receive the document accrediting having visited the Cathedral and the sepulchre of Saint James the Apostle.
