THE CONTEXT
SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, GALICIA, SPAIN
Santiago de Compostela is located in Galicia, a region famous for being the end of the Camino de Santiago. The city has a population of 100,000 residents including a large amount of youth and internationals because of a big university and El Camino.
This region is one of the most green, blue and beautiful in Spain. You can find mountains, forests, beaches and castles. The food unique to the region features a variety of seafood. Do you dare try the Galician Octopus (one of the popular dishes)? 😉
OUR MINISTRIES IN THE CITY
PILGRIMS
At the end of the camino, Santiago de Compostela has visitors from more than 50 countries each year. The pilgrims come with various religious beliefs and there is a big opportunity to share in action and deed the Gospel.Â
CAFÉ: ULTRA CAPULUS
Coffee is a passion of Rodrigo’s and he has a vision to open a cafe and roastery in Santiago de Compostela. He desires to create a space of connection and encounter with love and service and of course the best specialty coffee we can find and roast!
CHURCH
A focus that we have felt is to establish a church insde the city. Galicia in general is a place with few churches. Our goal would be to create a vibrant community of faith with “Gallegos” (Galicians) and internationals.
