Northern Spain Camino's on Unesco World Heritage List

The process took many years. But finally several Camino's in Northern Spain enter Unesco's World Heritage List.
Other sites as the old city of Santiago de Compostela or the wall surrounded city of Lugo (along the Camino Primitivo) are already on this heritage list. As is t
he Camino Frances, and we know it's success.


"Las diferentes rutas del Camino de Santiago propuestas para su inscripción en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial cuentan con una longitud global de 1.498,91 kilómetros. La distribución por itinerarios es la siguiente:Camino Primitivo: 311,31 kilómetros ; Camino de la Costa: 936,28 kilómetros ; Camino Interior: 196 kilómetros ; Camino Lebaniego: 55,32 kilómetros"
(La Nueva Espana, 6/5/2015)


A mere formality is the acceptance of the proposition of Icomos (International Council on Monuments and sites) by Unesco, this summer in Bonn.



The Camino Lebaniego is a lesser known camino. The major place on that camino is the Convent of Santo Toribio de Liebana. They celibrate their Holy Year in 2017.
