We dedicate the VIII Crossing The Camino by the sea to Blue Education

In addition to giving more importance to activities related to the Caminoby the sea, in 2023 we want to give visibility to Blue Education.

We seek to bring “the sea to the people” and “the people to the sea”, through three strategic axes:

  • Education.
  • Employment and professional development.
  • Dissemination.

“Educación azul” was created to sow the seed of the sea in the young population, so that they perceive the sea sector as an option for their professional future.

It is about opening a “window to the sea” so that our children can discover and love it and, in this way, show them the employment opportunities in the sector.

And we want to take care of our planet

We collaborated in the study of the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences of the University of León, to calculate the Carbon Footprint of our Sailing Tour 2023.

The carbon footprint is an environmental indicator that reflects the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG), expressed as CO2 equivalent, which is emitted directly or indirectly as a result of a given activity.

The aim of the study is to take as a basis the carbon footprint obtained at the end of the VIII Sailing Tour The Sailing Way, on 29 June 2023, in order to draw the appropriate conclusions to implement a strategy to reduce CO2 emissions based on energy efficiency, saving raw materials, etc., as well as to disseminate and implement best practices for our next Sailing Tour in 2024.

Sailing!

Since Bishop Godescalco (the first documented pilgrim, around 950), and later the legendary Duke William of Aquitaine, went on pilgrimage to Santiago in the 12th century, the most of the millions of Jacobean pilgrims in the world have done the Way on foot, mainly following the French Way.

However, the reality is that the first Way was made by sea, and this was done by the disciples Theodore and Athanasius bringing the body of St. James the Apostle, according to tradition, in a “stone boat”.

Requirements for obtaining the Compostela Pilgrim’s Certificate

The ‘Compostela’ is the official document certifying that the holder has made the pilgrimage to the tomb of the Apostle Saint James.

The voyage between the ports of departure and arrival must be made by sailboat. Sailors must complete a minimum of 100 nautical miles. In keeping with the spirit of the Way, the kilometres from the last port of call to the cathedral will be covered on foot.

The offices for stamping the credentials (the Pilgrim’s Passport) will be located in all the ports included in the Northmarinas network:
