Spiritual tourism on the way of Saint James the current situation

This paper examines the transformations of The Way of Saint James experience, between old dynamics and new feelings, and investigates the new features of spiritual tourism along its path. The study combines theoretical and empirical methodologies. In the latter case, primary sources and secondary sources are interpreted. The Way is a multi-faith spiritual experience that interprets post-secular trends. Some of its spiritual attractions are the possibility of breaking the routine, of finding mental renewal and as an anti-stress therapy. The very landscapes of The Way assume the nature of therapeutic landscapes in which the physical and built environment, social conditions and human perceptions produce an atmosphere favourable to spiritual healing. The study concludes by proposing an evaluation of the new impacts brought about by the shift from religiosity to spirituality.
