However this Santiago is in Guatemala, on beautiful Lake Atitlan.

In the not-so-distant future I plan to visit THIS Santiago. Que la luz de Dios alumbre su camino.

Hmm... interesting. Any aubergues there? Is there any real history behind the claim that this is a pilgrimage camino? More info? Thanks!

Oh no. Thank you for your confidence in my searching skills. I did report it as soon as I discovered it because I had never heard about it before, myself. But I am now in the process of arranging my travels to start the CF over again on May 4/18, just two months from now.

If you want to walk the 3 day Camino de Santiago on Gran Canaria, grab a coffee and start researching.

Lots in this post: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/camino-on-gran-canaria.16726/#post-504875

Some more if you enter Gran Canaria into the Search box that you find in the right corner of the forum's top bar on this page. Look for this icon:

This Camino de Santiago in Gran Canaria must be modern because the Canary Islands were conquered by Castilla in 1477.

Hi there
I posted separately about a hostel option I found. As for history, this is one of many pilgrimage routes on the island, which farmers and peasants used to visit the island's bigger churches on festival days.
