We dedicate the VI Crossing Sail the Way to THE EQUALITY
In this Xacobeo Year 2021 we give visibility to the contribution of women in the development of the maritime sector and promote the great variety of existing professions related to the Sea.
Captained by Olympic Champion Ángela Pumariega, a female crew made up of professionals from sport, education, science, coaching and communication will welcome on board, at each stage of the Way, different professionals from the maritime sector, promoting synergies and interdisciplinary projects on the road to equality.
Until the start of the voyage we will carry out different actions to raise awareness of the different professions and create spaces for dialogue and exchange.
The first debate in the framework of this Special Edition took place on Friday 12 February 2021 at 17:00 h (online): Open Debate “Science Navigates Equality”.
In addition, from 4 June you will be able to follow our pilgrimage live on the Nautical Channel.

Since Bishop Godescalco (the first documented pilgrim, around 950), and later the legendary Duke William of Aquitaine, went on pilgrimage to Santiago in the 12th century, the most of the millions of Jacobean pilgrims in the world have done the Way on foot, mainly following the French Way.
However, the reality is that the first Way was made by sea, and this was done by the disciples Theodore and Athanasius bringing the body of St. James the Apostle, according to tradition, in a “stone boat”.
