The Commonwealth of Galician Municipalities of the French Way held a promotional event for the Way with a visit from Canary Islands mayors whose municipalities are part of the route there. The meeting was attended by representatives from the three Canary Islands municipalities, along with the mayors of the 11 Galician municipalities in the Commonwealth, including the mayor of Palas de Rei.
The event was attended by the manager of the Xacobeo, Ildefonso Piñeiro, and delegates from the Xunta in Lugo and A Coruña. As a memento, the president of the Commonwealth presented each Canary Islands municipality with a Pilgrim's Seal.
“"The Canary Islands mayors committed to promoting the Jacobean Route on the islands."
The Commonwealth representatives also took the opportunity to promote the island, which receives several million tourists annually, and to showcase the attractions of the Jacobean route. This initiative is part of the Commonwealth's work to promote the French Way as a prelude to the Holy Year 2027.
