(Are you watching, Tinca?)
A search for this title on my preferred search engine, duckduckgo, threw up what you might imagine: pitches by a range of tour companies, and of course a wiki entry.
In Irish popular history - yes, this is related - a question is asked in song: for what died the sons of Roisin? Relating the question to the Camino, for what did poor old James get transported in a stone boat and end up authoring a long, long story of seeking and arrival, at whatever point of enlightenment, realisation, satisfaction, reparation - whichever was - and is - dominant in the heart of the journey-maker, the pilgrim, the adventurer.

Today was a very significant day in the life of St James, if we are to believe sources.
If you would like to explore that meaning, I recommend a half an hour of watching a video prepared by someone who is a good friend of one pilgrim experienced in all things Camino.

€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
As far as I can tell, you are posing a question (the answers to which might transgress forum rules about discussion of religion), you want to recommend a video but don't think you should identify it for those reasons, you want people to not argue about different religions, and you are tossing in a challenge to the moderators.

Those factors seem like good reasons for closing the thread to further discussion. People are free to contact you (or me) by private Conversation, for clarification.
