The 1,000-year-old pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is known as the Way of St. James (El Camino de Santiago - in Spanish). Some 200,000 pilgrims travel to the city each year from all over the world to find inspiration and/or deeper spiritual understanding. Many carry with them a scallop shell or St James's Cross - believed to promote strength and hope.

Description: This is quite a "small" or delicate bracelet probably more suited to a woman or a young lady. The leather bracelet is embossed with symbols of the Camino, the scallop shell and arrow, and holds a metal scallop shell. The bracelet measures 14cms x 1cm with an additional 12cms adjustable strap, so is suitable for most wrist sizes.

Please NOTE: This is quite a small or dainty bracelet. For a larger, more substantial Camino bracelet, see some related products below.

More info about El Camino:

The Way of St. James criss-crosses Western Europe, arriving at Santiago through Northern Spain. It is generally regarded as a journey of the body, mind and spirit. Modern travellers choose to do the Camino for personal, spiritual and/or religious reasons - or simply to take time out from their busy, modern lives. For many, the walk is to find inspiration - improving their outlook on life, bringing them into closer contact with nature and expanding their cultural horizons through contact with other travellers. Everyone experiences the journey in a different way.



Do you know someone who could do with some extra encouragement and support as they embark on new ventures and new journeys? Show them that you care and that you are thinking of them with this lovely Camino bracelet. Comes gift-wrapped, like all our presents - and we can print a personal message on your behalf.
