The Camino de Santiago is not just a pilgrimage route: it is a growing ecosystem that generates economic activity, connects cultures and transforms the territories it passes through. With more than 530,000 pilgrims arriving in Santiago in 2025 — surpassing half a million for the first time — and a sustained growth trend, the Camino has established itself as one of the most important tourist destinations in Europe. For those seeking a property in its surroundings, this opens up two equally attractive paths:
The Camino connects communities, creates an open and cosmopolitan atmosphere even in the most rural settings, and gives the territories it passes through a life and international reach that are truly unique. The towns and villages of the Camino are also places with centuries of history: Romanesque churches, medieval bridges, monasteries and authentic traditional elements that form part of a protected heritage. Its route runs through some of the best-preserved natural environments in Galicia, and its presence tends to guarantee good access to services, restaurants, shops and transport.
The growth of the Camino has transformed its surroundings into a tourist market with high demand throughout the year. Today's pilgrim, increasingly international and with greater purchasing power, often looks for alternatives to the traditional hostel. Rural guesthouses, boutique hotels, charming accommodation and properties that breathe authenticity are the most sought-after products. Setting up a business on the Camino means having a constant and growing flow of customers from all over the world, on one of the most promising tourist routes in the world.
