The Pilgrims Routes to Santiago de Compostella
The Gers has over 1500k of roads and pathways and since the 9th century and the discovery of the tomb of St. James the apostle at Compostella, in Galicia, the Gers has been a staging-post for thousands of pilgrims. La Romieu and the Abbaye de Flaran were two of the most popular halts but the numerous cathedrals, churches and chapels mark the routes which are still popular with walkers today. | | | Directions | | | Please contact us and we will be pleased to offer specific directions to suit your intinerary. | | | | | | | Contact Details | |
