What does the logo of the Camino de Santiago mean?

The logo of the Camino de Santiago, the shell of vieira, is a traditional symbol of pilgrims. A bivalve mollusk very common in Galicia, and characteristic of this region, this shell represents several things:

• the proof of having completed the route that pilgrims took back to their home;
• the different Routes that lead to Santiago, by the grooves of the shell that converge in a single point;
• the spiritual rebirth of a new man/woman, after their visit to Santiago and the grace of forgiveness received from the Apostle.
