The GR®65, also known as the Way of St. James or the Camino de Santiago, is one of the most iconic pilgrimage routes in the world. It follows the traditional path of pilgrims traveling to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, where the cathedral houses the tomb of the Apostle James. This trail offers pilgrims a unique experience, combining spirituality, history, and the discovery of diverse landscapes. Along the way, pilgrims have the opportunity to cross picturesque villages, green valleys, majestic mountains, and golden fields. Each stage offers different landscapes, ranging from the volcanic plateaus of Auvergne to the rugged peaks of the Pyrenees. But the GR®65 is much more than just a hiking route. It is imbued with a spiritual atmosphere and provides pilgrims with the opportunity to rejuvenate, reflect, and connect with a millennia-old tradition. Throughout the journey, pilgrims can meet walkers from around the world, exchange stories, share experiences, and support each other in their spiritual quest.

Accommodations along the GR®65 vary, ranging from modest guesthouses to shelters and inns. These places offer well-deserved rest to pilgrims after a day of walking, as well as a friendly and welcoming atmosphere where they can interact with fellow travelers. Walking the Way of St. James is a true inner journey. It is a physical, mental, and spiritual experience that allows pilgrims to refocus, find meaning, and surpass themselves. Each step carries significance, whether it is for a religious pilgrimage, a personal quest, or simply a human adventure. Whether one is a believer or not, the journey offers a unique and unforgettable experience. It reminds us of the importance of travel, meeting others, and self-discovery. Walking in the footsteps of pilgrims who have traveled this path for centuries provides a sense of connection with history, spirituality, and humanity itself.

In conclusion, the Way of St. James is much more than just a hiking trail. It is a path steeped in history, spirituality, and encounters. It invites pilgrims from around the world to embark on a journey, to open themselves to travel, and to experience a profound and transformative adventure.
