Routes of Galicia | Xacobeo 2022. Año Santo Jacobeo

The Jacobean Holy Year (in Galician, Ano Santo Xacobeo), also known as the Compostela Holy Year, Holy Year of Santiago, or simply Jacobean, is a Catholic celebration that takes place in the Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela, in Galicia, the year in which July 25, the feast of Santiago Apóstol, falls on a Sunday. This occurs with a regular cadence of 6-5-6-11 years (except when the last year of a century is not a leap year, where there may be gaps of 7 or 12 years), so that every century fourteen Jacobean Holy Years are celebrated.
