Photographs by Goyo González that show the Way from a new point of view.
The exhibition consists of 36 circular panoramic photographs selected from the author's wide repertoire of prominent places on the Camino de Santiago. They were made for more than 10 years in which Goyo González repeatedly made the Camino, mainly by bicycle. In the snapshots shown in the exhibition he expressed his concept of both the Way and the pilgrimage itself and the pilgrims.
