A series of films will be shown during the promotion of the camino in Pairs.
La Junta de Castilla y Leon has made Paris the epicentre during the past two
days of the tourist promotion of the Camino de Santiago, with a series of
activities that have included the presentation of a tourist guide,
gastronomy and culture, and a series of films related to the route.

>From the "Kilometer Zero" Route de Paris, at the foot of the Tour de Saint
Jacques, the Minister of Culture and Tourism, María José Salgueiro, today
launched symbolically the Camino de Santiago, accompanied by charges of the
autonomous region, Paris City Council members and members of the French
Association of Friends of Santiago.

"I think it is a privilege and a luxury that we can be making these
statements inside the tower of Saint Jacques (Santiago, in French), which is
never opened," said Salgueiro, adding that what the Board is trying that
"increasingly" out of that autonomous community "is known the Way to
Santiago Castilla y León".

The screening of "The Milky Way", the film made in France by Luis Buñuel,
will open at the Cervantes Institute in Paris, the next day 7 this cycle of
films, to be followed in planning the film "Pèlerins. Saint Jacques... le
Mecque "by Coline serrau (2006).

In the cultural and gastronomic tour Caballero provides information on
cultural and religious essence of the Camino de Santiago in Castille-Leon
and proposals for leisure, tourism and gastronomy.
