Pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela have been undertaken since the 11th century. During the Middle Ages many routes were developed, which were followed by the people from the whole of Europe for their peregrinations to the relics of Saint James. The importance of the Sanctuary decreased in the 15th and 16th centuries. The 20th century saw the renaissance of pilgrimages to Compostela. This was ascribed to the pope the Blessed John Paul II. Currently thousands of people make the effort to walk to Santiago de Compostela to experience, like their predecessors, an encounter with God, to know themselves and the surrounding space. The reasons for the decision to venture on this peregrination differ widely and remain difficult to interpret. The article presents the initial results of a questionnaire completed by the pilgrims who reached Compostela in 2011.

In the context of the current state of the discussion on religious tourism in Poland, the author justifies the need for separate research focusing on tourism related activities oriented towards cognitive experiences and connected with places and events linked with beliefs, yet unrelated to one’s religious attitudes and not being part of one’s practice of faith. Numerous examples of tourist activities and available travelling options provide material for an analysis of typical destinations and for characteristics of products on offer for this kind of cultural tourism. Finally, the article points to the potential areas for research and problems requiring complex solutions for this segment of cultural tourism.
