InterVarsity Press. ISBN 978-0-8308-3507-2. However one explains the phenomenon, there is little doubt that the events of the first Easter, sometime in the early 30s of the first century, made a powerful impact on the first followers of Jesus. Yet the utterly bizarre nature of the claims that they were making is easy to miss after two thousand years of familiarity with Christianity. Let us pause to consider for a moment what it was that they were saying. Although it is commonly believed that the pilgrimage to Santiago has continued without interruption since the Middle Ages, few modern pilgrimages antedate the 1957 publication of Irish Hispanist and traveler Walter Starkie's The Road to Santiago. [11] The revival of the pilgrimage was supported by the Spanish government of Francisco Franco, much inclined to promote Spain's Catholic history. "It has been only recently (1990s) that the pilgrimage to Santiago regained the popularity it had in the Middle Ages." [28]

Although St. George’s bay offers a (man-made) sandy beach, it’s not the prettiest nor the cleanest. If beach life is a priority for your holiday this may not be the best area to stay in. Expect a fairly long (1h) commute to get to some of the better sandy beaches.

History of St. Julian’s

Sánchez-Carretero, Christina (2015). Walking to the End of the World. Heritage, Pilgrimage and the Camino to Finisterre. The compostela is a certificate of accomplishment given to pilgrims on completing the Way. To earn the compostela one needs to walk a minimum of 100km or cycle at least 200km. In practice, for walkers, the closest convenient point to start is Sarria, as it has good bus and rail connections to other places in Spain. Pilgrims arriving in Santiago de Compostela who have walked at least the last 100km (62mi), or cycled 200km (120mi) to get there (as indicated on their credencial), and who state that their motivation was at least partially religious, are eligible for the compostela from the Pilgrim's Office in Santiago. [37] The Drayton Pub (Triq Elija Zammit) is a typical English, proper English pub and a firm favourite among locals.
