The 66km Camino de Santiago in Gran Canaria offers a unique pilgrimage experience, traversing the island from the southern shores of Maspalomas to the historic town of Gáldar in the north. This route, steeped in history, blends ancient Canarian pathways with the spiritual tradition of the Camino. Pilgrims encounter diverse landscapes, from coastal areas to rugged volcanic terrains, providing a challenging yet rewarding journey. The path holds historical significance, having been used by ancient Canarians and later as a livestock trail, adding layers of cultural depth to the pilgrimage. The final destination, the Church of Santiago de los Caballeros in Gáldar, marks the culmination of this distinctive island Camino.
