We’re excited to share a new video that dives into the heart of the InCASA project and its mission to make the Camino de Santiago accessible to everyone.
The Camino de Santiago, a centuries-old pilgrimage route, holds a special place in European history and culture, inspiring countless pilgrims with its breathtaking landscapes and historic cities. However, the Camino’s diverse terrain and limited accessible infrastructure can pose significant challenges for people with disabilities.
This is where the InCASA project steps in, striving to transform the Camino de Santiago into a more inclusive experience for all.
