Alan Rogers Review of Camping As Cancelas
The beautiful city of Santiago has been the destination for European Christian pilgrims for centuries, and they now follow ancient routes to this unique city, the whole of which is a national monument. The As Cancelas campsite is excellent for sharing the experiences of these pilgrims in the city and around the magnificent cathedral.
It has 113 marked pitches (60-90 sq.m), arranged in terraces and divided by trees and shrubs. Electrical hook-ups (5A) are available; the site is lit at night, and a security guard patrols. The campsite is on a hillside overlooking the city; the views are delightful. The site has a steep approach road.
There are many legendary festivals and processions here, the main one being on July 25th, especially in holy years (when the Saint’s birthday falls on a Sunday). Examine for yourself the credibility of the fascinating story of the arrival of the bones of Saint James at Compostela (Compostela translates as ‘field of stars’), and also discover why the pilgrims dutifully carry a scallop shell on their long journey. There are many pilgrims’ routes, including one commencing from Fowey in Cornwall.
