American Pilgrims on the Camino

Visit https://www.santabarbara-pilgrims.org/ for event details.

All interested persons are welcome to participate in hikes and attend local meetings. Who Are the American Pilgrims on the Camino? The organization focuses on the 500 mile ancient pilgrimage trek in northern Spain from the French border at St Jean to Santiago, the Cathedral city near the Atlantic coast of Spain. Some of the members are officially recorded Pilgrims who have hiked along one or more of the historical Camino Routes in Europe (The Way of St. James) and have received an official, 1000 year old traditional plaque that certifies completion of the Camino de Santiago. The Santa Barbara Chapter of the APOC serves a social role to gather Pilgrims and interested persons and they help prepare and advise future pilgrims about hiking the Camino de Santiago. The organization encourages everyone to use and explore the historical California mission trail. Go out and walk to find your inner peace and enlightenment.
