Discover Barcelona

Barcelona, the vibrant and cosmopolitan capital of Catalonia, is one of the main departure points of the Camí de Sant Jaume (Catalan Way). Starting the pilgrimage here is to begin with an immersion in one of Europe's culturally richest cities. The pilgrim can obtain their credential at the Gothic cathedral or at St. James' church, in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, before embarking on a journey that will take them from the Mediterranean to the heart of Aragon. Before departing, it is almost obligatory to marvel at Antoni Gaudí's modernist architecture, with the Sagrada Familia as an iconic symbol. The Ramblas, the Boquería Market, and the port offer an endless pulse of life. The Jacobean route leaves the city seeking the Monastery of Montserrat, Catalonia's sacred mountain, in its first demanding but beautiful stage. Starting the Camino in Barcelona is a unique experience, combining urban energy, art, history, and the promise of a long pilgrimage through Catalonia's diverse landscapes.
