Camino Pilgrim - CSJ UK

The CSJ gives people help and advice about the pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela We are also open to provide face to face advice.

Based in London, England, The Confraternity of Saint James is a non-denominational association of former and current pilgrims, and others interested in the history and culture of Spain. Most of our members and volunteers have made the pilgrimage and have been sufficiently affected by it to want to give something back: giving advice and help to prospective pilgrims is our way of doing so. We publi

sh up-to-date guides to all the main routes to Santiago (they are available through our on-line Bookshop), and organise an annual programme of lectures and other events. CSJ also runs two refugios in Spain- in Gaucelmo and Miraz where pilgrims can stay on their journey and where volunteers can go to help. In the London office we have a library based upon pilgrimage and Spain and donated accounts of pilgrimage. By joining the Confraternity you will support our work and will be giving something back to the pilgrimage.
