Compostela Holy Year 2027: Camino goods for shops and groups
A Compostela Holy Year is celebrated when the feast of St James, 25 July, falls on a Sunday. In 2027 it does: the Holy Door of the cathedral opens on 31 December 2026 and stays open until 31 December 2027. Holy Years bring many more walkers to every Camino route.
