Q: Why is it called Spiritual Variant?

The Spiritual Variant of the Portuguese Camino de Santiago receives its name due to the deep historical and mystical connection it has with the legend of the arrival of the body of the Apostle Santiago to Galicia . One of the highlights is the boat trip through the Ría de Arousa , the Traslatio , which recreates the trip that, according to tradition, the Apostle's disciples made when they transported his remains to Galicia.
