"Xacobeo's annual budget is around $6 million. The money helps protect the route as part of the region's cultural heritage.
"This priceless pilgrim route is part of Galicia's identity," said Rafael Sanchez, a representative of Xacobeo. "So we need to do our best to keep it in good condition. Maintaining it well boosts our international profile."
The number of visitors has jumped to 200,000 a year since the route achieved World Cultural Heritage status."
