The Route of St. James from Gran Canaria

The Route of St. James is one of the most exciting and recommended routes to help discover
the variety of landscapes that are hidden away around the interior of Gran Canaria. A papal
bull by Pope John 23rd in 1965 awarded the city of Gáldar the honour of celebrating St. James
Holy Year with the same priviledges enjoyed at Santiago de Compostela. There are 73 kilometres
to walk along, set out in three stages with varying difficulty and length, separating the golden
sands down at Maspalomas from the island’s first capital city in Gáldar, in a pilgrimage that takes
walkers along a route through ravines and volcanoes.
