Association

APACA’s main purpose is to reduce the suffering of animals at the hands of humans and achieve a fairer coexistence between them. Its scope of action covers the territories through which the different Jacobean routes run in Galicia, so one of its objectives is to make the Camino de Santiago a more ethical and respectful place for animals. To this end, it works to abolish the mistreatment, exploitation, chaining or permanent confinement and abandonment (or semi-abandonment) that abounds along all the routes, but also to end the systematic discrimination suffered by family animals accompanying pilgrims by most of the social and institutional agents of the Way.

The ASSOCIATION’s general objective will be the restoration, conservation and promotion of the Camino de Santiago, as well as the dissemination of the culture and values associated with it, together with providing assistance to pilgrims.

The Galicia Tourism Cluster is the main business association for tourism in Galicia, representing and coordinating the entire value chain of the tourism sector in Galicia. It brings together companies from all areas: from intermediation and accommodation to food and wine, MICE offerings and active tourism, as well as other complementary services.

Since its inception in 2013, the Cluster has established itself as a space for meeting, dialogue and cooperation, which is key to building a more professional, sustainable and resilient tourism model.

At Solpor, we work to promote the Camino de Santiago to Fisterra and Muxía, ensuring the preservation of the route’s tangible and intangible heritage and improving the pilgrims’ experience.
