===Establishment of the shrine=== [[File:Spain Leon - Santiago Shell.jpg|thumb|upright|The Scallop Shell, emblem of [[James, son of Zebedee|St James]], worn by pilgrims]] The 1,000-year-old pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James in the [[Santiago de Compostela Cathedral]] is known in English as the [[Way of St. James]] and in Spanish as the {{lang|es|Camino de Santiago}}. Over 200,000 pilgrims travel to the city each year from points all over Europe and other parts of the world. The pilgrimage has been the subject of many books, television programmes, and films, notably [[Brian Sewell]]'s ''[[The Naked Pilgrim]]'' produced for the British television channel [[Channel 5 (UK)|Channel 5]] and the [[Martin Sheen]]/[[Emilio Estevez]] collaboration ''[[The Way (2010 film)|The Way]]''.
