From Vía de la Plata route to Saint James Way

The Vía de la Plata Route, after the presence of the Roman World, was used as a communication route by successive inhabitants of the Peninsula, and from the ninth century it started to be frequented as a pilgrimage road. It was then when it began to be known as “The Camino Mozárabe de Santiago”, because the Christians living in Muslim territory took advantage of the road infrastructure present on the route towards Santiago.
