pilgrim route
Devotional travel corridor
A pilgrim route is a traditional path traveled by religious pilgrims to reach a sacred destination.
The most famous is the Camino de Santiago leading to the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
These routes developed over centuries, with established stopping points, hostels, and communities serving travelers.
