Conference colloquium: The Specialized Way
The popularity of the Camino de Santiago has led to the development in recent years of new tourism products that allow visitors to enjoy the Jacobean route in a different way.
Diversify involves specialization in certain areas, using, for example, enology as the driving axis, proposing the Camino de Santiago as a maritime route, pilgrimage in the company of pets or approaching the experience from interior reflection as an opportunity to get to know one better same.

Manu Mariño (Advisor and trainer in Mindfulness and Director of Quietud Mindfulness Center in Santiago de Compostela.)
He has made the Camino de Santiago several times. The last, just beginning this year 2019, from Porto and in silence. All these experiences have allowed him to verify that the Jacobean route offers the great opportunity to connect with the "I" and the "now", that is, it constitutes a great ally to generate a state of mindfulness.
Jesús González Aller-Lacalle (President of North Marinas)
He is president of Northmarinas, an association that brings together a total of twenty-two ports in France, Euskadi, Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia and that has driven the Camino de Santiago by sea. It is a route with official character, which allows obtaining the Compostela covering a minimum itinerary of one hundred nautical miles with sailing and at least the last ten kilometers on foot.
Enrique López (Ideologist and founding partner of El Cavino)
El Cavino is the business project in which Enrique López has materialized his idea (and his dream) of giving people the opportunity to discover the Camino de Santiago through its wines. His own experience as a pilgrim has encouraged him to organize in recent years outings in which several hundred 'cavinantes' have already participated, people who live the Camino experience knowing the wineries and wines that mark the Jacobean route.
