The Stars
The vision of the exhibition’s protagonists affords us a broader perspective of the Way of Saint James.
The Stars along the Way is an invitation to consider and reflect more deeply on the human values of the people that live along the Way of Saint James. A key factor that plays a fundamental role in both the conservation and revival of the pilgrimage tradition.
the Portuguese Way
The exhibition gallery on the Portuguese Way covers the 10 stages between Oporto and Santiago de Compostela.
In order to move further into this subject whilst remaining true to our determination to collect, document and transmit those visions of resistance, we have now decided to delve into another essential aspect that characterises the Way of Saint James: dialogue. Dialogue as a fundamental element in human relations. Dialogue as a way of forging ties between people on either side of the border, as well as the dialogue between people from different cultures and countries who share their journey to Santiago, and which represents an essential part of the myriad experiences the Way offers. It is for all these reasons that we believe dialogue should be present in the creation of the exhibition. In this sense, we have worked with two artists: Lula Goce (Galicia) and Daniel Eime (Portugal), whose interventions are alternated along the entire route, creating a “conversation” through their works.
Dialogues
The tales of the protagonists of the murals strike up a dialogue between one another.

An exhibition that shows the Human Factor of the Way of Saint James
Estrella Galicia wishes to pay tribute to the many generations of a society that have offered assistance and hospitality to the constant flow of pilgrims who have travelled through their towns and villages, past their homes, day after day and year after year… A tradition that has withstood the test of time and is still thriving today. A unique way of life that in all likelihood is the reason why the Way of Saint James enjoys such widespread recognition.
