Travelling the old pilgrim routes to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, this film investigates the legend and legacy of St James the Apostle, whose remains are said to be buried there. In southern France and northern Spain, it looks at the magnificent artistic heritage that resulted from the saint's dominance in the Middle Ages. Talking to some of today's pilgrims about their reasons for undertaking the journey, it also considers Santiago's significance in modern times.
