Maritime pilgrimage
ORIGIN
ASNAUGA organized an unprecedented nautical pilgrimage, with the sponsorship of Turismo de Galicia with two fleets of 45 boats and 275 pilgrims
This project arose from the idea of commemorating, to a certain extent, the pilgrimage of St. Francis of Assisi and the Apostle’s Traslatio to Compostela by sea. It was first done in 2014
The northern route, more numerous, had its departure from Ribadeo where the ships from Europe (Ireland, England, France, etc.) concentrated, which together with the Spanish ships arrived at Viveiro, Sada, Ares, Camariñas, Portosín, Ribeira and Cabo of Cruz. The participants of both fleets went up the Ulla river in a catamaran to Ponte Cesures and from there to Santiago where it ended, after the religious acts in the Cathedral of Santiago.
The South route departed from Genoa (Italy) with stops in Toulon (France), Palma de Mallorca, Torrevieja, Cartagena, Roquetas, Marbella, Cádiz, Portimão, Sines, Cascais, Figueira Da Foz, Porto, Portonovo, Ribeira and Cabo de Cruz. Crews and boats were added to the expedition in the different ports of passage.
