A surprising number of pilgrims went to Compostela by the sea route - well,
perhaps not so surprising as that is how James is supposed to have got
there. The standard Welsh route was by sea (with the returned empties from
the wine trade) from Bristol or Carmarthen to Santander, but you could also
go as far as Coruna then inland. Would that get you to a good beach for
scallopshells?
