Hotels and B&B in Santiago de Compostela - Xacobeo 2010

The celebration of Xacobeo 2010 Holy Year will be one of the most important events in the region in recent times, since thousands of pilgrims are expected to arrive at the city of Santiago de Compostela to venerate the tomb of the Apostle James the Greater (St James) and to get the Jubilee grace, that consists of a plenary indulgence in order to forgive the punishment that the sins deserve.

The Apostle's feastday is July 25, and the Xacobeo Holy Year is celebrated each year that the feast falls on a Sunday, which happens 16 times every century. The last Holy Years were in 1993, 1999, 2004 and the next one in 2021. The Xacobeo 2010 is a good opportunity to participate in the historic and popular pilgrimage route El Camino de Santiago de Compostela (The Way of St. James), and to visit the city of Santiago de Compostela that will welcome every pilgrim and tourist with open arms.

In order to get the Jubilee indulgence Catholics must visit the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, where St. James the Great was buried, attend the Holy Mass and receive the Sacraments of Penance and Communion. Nevertheless, not everything has to do with religion in the celebration of Xacobeo 2010 Holy Year.

The Xunta de Galicia has been organizing this very special event for years and several artistic, musical, sport , religious and gastronomic activities have been announced to celebrate it. As regards gastronomy, those visiting Santiago de Compostela in this Xacobeo 2010 Holy Year should not miss visiting the restaurants of Galicia's capital city, to enjoy a delicious pulpo á feira (Galician octopus) and savour a good Ribeiro wine.
