The route to Santiago de Compostela via the north side along the coast for 844 km. People walk this route as pelgrims to pray and find spiritual enlightenment but more recently runners found their way on this path. While regarded by many as “not the true way” of travelling to the holy church, it is considered by many runners as the way of finding actual enlightenment by testing the body as extreme exhaustion and fatigue play a major role.
