Maritime Camino

[Rosina Lila]

Hello,
The Archdiocese has informed that the forty nautical miles traversed through
the Arousa sea and the Ulla river will no longer be considered valid for the
purposes of obtaining the Compostela upon reaching Santiago.  The church has
opined that sailing over the Arousa  is more of a touristic expedition than a
pilgrimage.

The Maritime Camino, "Ruta del Mar", is one of the oldest and the least known
of all the routes followed by current pilgrims and those of yore.  If you
want to read about it, and see some beautiful pictures there of, go to
                                       www.caminoasantiago.com
click on the British flag for the version in English.  On the page that comes
up there is a little map where all the Camino routes in Galicia are listed;
on the third section underneath the map you will find the introduction to the
Maritime Route from which you can go and read the entire writing about the
route and see the pictures.
Regards,
Rosina
