Este texto se aproxima al estudio de la relación entre el turismo y la peregrinación a partir de la interpretación que los turiperegrinos del Camino Portugués Interior de Santiago de Compostela (CPIS) dan a su experiencia. Con base en un trabajo de campo antropológico desarrollado desde septiembre del año 2015, analizamos el proceso reciente de activación patrimonial y turística de una nueva ruta de los caminos de Santiago, el consumo turístico de esta ruta como expresión de nuevos valores contemporáneos, y la configuración de nuevas identidades turiperegrinas postseculares que no se pueden clasificar o interpretar de forma simplista como turismo religioso. This paper approach to the study of the relationship between tourism and pilgrimage, based on the interpretation that the pilgrims of the Portuguese Inner Way of Santiago de Compostela give their experience. Based on an anthropological fieldwork research developed since September of the year 2015, we analyze the recent process of patrimonial and tourist activation of a new route of the roads to Santiago de Compostela, the tourist consumption of this route as an expression of new contemporary values, and the configuration of new post-secular tourist pilgrimage identities, that can not be classified or interpreted simplistically as religious tourism.

“…Conceptual frameworks to analyze heritagization processes often incorporate multidisciplinary approaches, drawing on fields such as discourses of heritage [12,13], critical heritage studies [14,15], landscape research [16][17][18], and anthropology [19,20]. They provide a theoretical foundation for understanding the social, cultural, ecological, and political dimensions of heritagization.…”

The identification and preservation of cultural landscapes worthy of protection is a challenging task, as their significance is often not immediately apparent. Analyzing the process through which a site or landscape became a heritage site and understanding the historical context and the factors that contributed to its designation allows making informed decisions on the management and preservation of the site. To provide research-based knowledge, this paper aims to analyze the transformation of the degraded remains of the North Pole expedition bases of Andrée and Wellman in Virgohamna, Svalbard, into a protected historic landscape and the subsequent emergence of the site as a current popular tourist destination. Virgohamna serves as an illustrative case for examining the heritagization process of cultural heritage sites in Svalbard. This article adopts a multidisciplinary approach, drawing upon case studies, mapping and categorizing the historic and current landscape, the condition and vulnerability assessment of historic remains, behavior studies on visiting tourists and guides on-site, expert interviews, and document studies. The findings highlight the complex processes that have influenced the making of the cultural heritage landscape in Virgohamna, the enduring narrative associated with the site, and the need for continued efforts to ensure the preservation and dissemination of its historical significance. Analyzing the process through which Virgohamna has become a heritage site and understanding the historical context and the factors that have contributed to its designation as a heritage site has the potential to enhance comprehension regarding historical importance and heritage values. Furthermore, it might facilitate engaging stakeholders and formulating management approaches and provide insights for policy suggestions. The comprehensive examination serves as a foundation for responsible and sustainable heritage management, ensuring the preservation and promotion of Virgohamna’s cultural heritage for present and future generations.

“…Pilgrimages and sanctuaries are both static and dynamic elements of geographic space. They create spatial point and line systems, and, consequently, also surface and network ones, of various sizes, ranges, and shapes; they have their own history and are subject to change (Krogmann 2007;Ostrowski 2017;Robinson 1997;Sánchez-Carretero 2015;Timothy and Olsen 2006;Turner and Turner 1978). A pilgrimage is a complex and changing phenomenon, which consists of interactions between religious and secular factors (Cohen 1992;Coleman and Eade 2004;Collins-Kreiner 2010;Digance 2003;Eade and Sallnow 1991;Kaszowski 1996;Turnbull 1992).…”

The objectives of this study were to indicate major routes with their length and duration from Poland to Santiago de Compostela, to analyze the journey of Poles along these pilgrimage routes from the fourteenth century to modern times, and to describe factors contributing to the development of such travels to the tomb of St. James. The medieval pilgrimage routes followed by the Poles, as well as the length of the route, pilgrimage duration, dynamism, and versatility of the pilgrimage space were analyzed. The conclusions indicate that the medieval pilgrims from Poland, heading for St. James' tomb, covered the longest section of the pilgrimage road along the East-West axis in Europe. The growing number of contemporary Polish citizens following the Way of St. James is primarily the result of the revival of pilgrimage through medieval pilgrimage routes, the revival of the St. James' cult in many Polish parishes, the activities of numerous St. James' organizations and fraternities, the promotion of the Way, and the "fashion" for Camino de Santiago.
