El Camino de Santiago first started in the 9th Century and pilgrims were guided by the stars, they also kept them company, like shepherds in the night. So much so that the pilgrimage is also known as the Milky Way Camino. While researching I discovered that Compostela from the city’s name, Santiago Compostela in Latin actually means a field of stars, a special place close to the sea, where for centuries man has marvelled at the night sky and pondered over things much greater than ourselves.
