The Way of St James - Pilgrim's Route to the Holy Land
(Galician O camiño de Santiago, Spanish El Camino de Santiago), is the pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain, where tradition has it that the remains of the apostle, Saint James, are buried.

The scallop shell is the symbol of this route.

1. My dear Xipe Totec!
What a beautiful melody! Even though I didn't understand the words, the song still enchanted me...

I hope that someday you will get to hike that road, sweetie...

2. I don't understand the words either...
Well, a word here and there only.

It is sung in Galician; a language similar to Portuguese and Spanish.

I'm glad you liked it too!
