Abstract

Centuries ago, Camino de Santiago de Compostela’s pilgrims were deprived of contact with their homes for extended periods while they were in the way. The report of the experience was only shared with family and friends once they arrived home. In the 20th century, landline telephones, computers connected to the Internet and cell phones reduced the time needed to share these stories with the outside world. Analyzing pilgrimages published on the Internet (Facebook, blogs), this study infers that the intimate experience of pilgrims has become a media product that, when in media circulation, interferes both in the construction of the narrative and in the way the pilgrim lives his/her experience.
