“…Viacerí autori (napr. Margry 2015a, 2015b, Blom et al 2016, Nilsson 2016 a Nilsson a Tesfahuney 2019) upozorňujú na špecifiká tejto púte (nekresťanská, katolíckou cirkvou neuznávaná púť, ktorá vychádza z keltskej pohanskej tradície a vo svojej podstate je egocentrická), ktorú vyhľadávajú najmä vyznávači individuálneho náboženstva (tvorba a akceptovanie "vlastného boha" -hnutie New Age) odmietajúci jeho inštitucionálnu formu, resp. realizuje ju aj časť pútnikov ako doplnok k finálnemu ukončeniu Camina.…”

Phenomenon Camino de Santiago: From Christian pilgrimage route to post-secularʼs product of tourism The renaissance of the cult of St. James and Camino de Santiago (the Christian pilgrimage route to the tomb of St. James the Apostle in Santiago de Compostela, Spain) began from the second half of the 20th century through the pro-active Catholic volunteers. Simultaneously, the profane, tourist Camino is also developing, responding to the extraordinary, massive, and broad-spectrum promotion from the side of state and public administration bodies which have been oriented to support the development of the Camino in the sense of its transformation into a product of international tourism. The main objective of these efforts has not been only the promotion of the Galicia region, but also the attempts to solve the local and regional problems of socioeconomic development of the affected backward rural areas and to form the competitive position of Santiago de Compostela as a tourism destination. This study deals with the Camino phenomenon and its transformation from a Christian pilgrimage route to a post-secular product of tourism. The presented results have been reached by the applied combination of extensive secondary research, the authentic primary qualitative research, and the statistical analysis of number of pilgrims.

“…There is a recent tradition for pilgrims to burn their clothes or boots at the end of their journey at the Cape. There are testimonies from several previous rituals from the twentieth century, but this habit dates from the 1990s when it related to the Camino de Santiago [27,28]. However, today it is prohibited to burn things in Cape Fisterra.…”

Assessment and Management of the Geomorphological Heritage of Monte Pindo (NW Spain): A Landscape as a Symbol of Identity

This study focuses on the granite mountain known as Monte Pindo (627 m above sea level) in the Autonomous Community of Galicia (NW Spain). This territory is included in the area classified as "Costa da Morte" in the "Politica de Ordenación Litoral" (POL) (Coastal Planning Policy) for the region of Galicia. This coastal unit, located between "Rías Baixas" and "Cape Fisterra" has great potential for demonstrating geological processes and its geomorphological heritage is characterized by a high degree of geodiversity of granite landforms. The main objective of our work is to assess the geomorphological heritage of the site, thus revealing its wide geodiversity. We shall analyze and highlight: its scientific value, developing an inventory of granite landforms; its educational valuel and its geotouristic potential. It must be ensured that the Administration understands that natural diversity is composed of both geodiversity and biodiversity. Only then will the sustainable management of Monte Pindo become possible by integrating natural and cultural heritage values. The goal is to ensure that Monte Pindo and its immediate surroundings become a geopark with the aim of promoting local development projects based on the conservation and valorization of its geological heritage.

“…Designated as a Cultural Route of the Council of Europe in 1987, various strands of its "reanimation" (Frey 1998: 237-254) were brought together, and this reversioning successfully exploited to a greater degree than ever the popularity of long-distance walking and experiential tourism, renewed interest in landscape and being with nature, and multifaceted interactions with cultural heritage. The Camino rapidly became a venue largely perceived to be supradenominational or even post-Christian, a meeting place for spiritual seekers where contemporary forms of extrainstitutional religiosity would overlap with the European history of religions (Chemin 2015;Margry 2015;Lopez, Lois González, and Castro Fernández 2017;Amaro, Antunes, and Henriques 2018). It heralded a transition from viewing pilgrimage primarily as "destinationoriented" to "seeing the journey as a pilgrimage in itself" (Margry 2008: 24).…”
