The Winter Way - Youth Exchange in 2021
This Erasmus+ project took place in summer 2021 between El Bierzo and Valdeorras, where we bring together participants from four countries to walk and discover together the Camino de Invierno, the route of the Santiago's Way that crosses Valdeorras. They were days of long hiking days, with cultural visits, activities and workshops on the pilgrimage experience.
For whom?
The youth exchange brought together 20 young people from four countries: Spain, Turkey, Romania and Bosnia & Herzegovina (4 participants + group leader).
