About us

The Foundation

The Jacobean Foundation began its activity with the desire to put its work at the service of the promotion and defence of pilgrimage routes, in particular the Pilgrims’ Routes to Santiago, generating projects and interventions that contribute to the improvement of their social and cultural environment.

The institution was created with the intention of defending and promoting the values and philosophy inherent to pilgrimages throughout history, but also closely linked to the reality of the 21st century, with an international and interdisciplinary vocation and a firm commitment to research and innovation of our time.
