Pilgrims walking in the town of Melide, where it melts the Camino Primitivo and French. VITOR MEJUTO

Since yesterday, the pilgrimage to Compostela has two routes officially demarcated. A delimitation in November, the French Way only remained the stretch passing through Compostela now joins the Camino Primitivo, who allegedly ran the route King Alfonso II the Chaste when he came to Oviedo, the then capital of the kingdom of Asturias, news of the discovery of the remains of the Apostle.

The General Directorate of Cultural Heritage intervene prior to a license, which resolved with physical conservation criteria of the way, respect and preservation Jacobean values ​​of the traditional features of the area, which generally implies maintaining agricultural activities.

In addition, the Administration must be informed of all plans, programs and projects that alter the landscape area within the visual field of the road and could affect their values. It is, in short, to propose protective and corrective measures for the protection of cultural heritage in the area of ​​the pilgrimage route.
