Welcome to the Ignatian Camino

Saint Ignatius of Loyola who called himself “The Pilgrim”

In 1522 Ignatius of Loyola traveled from his home in Loyola, in the Basque region of northeastern Spain, to Montserrat and Manresa near Barcelona. This pilgrimage changed his life. His subsequent undertakings changed the world.

The route from Loyola to Manresa

The Ignatian Camino — running 640km across northeastern Spain — crosses mountain passes, traverses forests, deserts, orchards, vineyards, and visits towns and cities. It can also be a profoundly spiritual journey of stillness, solitude, and reflection.
