2022 is going to be a very special year on the Camino de Santiago, as it is considered a Holy Year or Ano Xacobeo. This means the Feast of St James, 25th July, falls on a Sunday. This only happens every few years and the last Ano Xacobeo was in 2010. In fact, because of our leap years, Holy Years actually only occur 14 times in a century, so it really is quite a unique experience.
