Pilgrims traveling on the Camino de Santiago today pass by the ruins of medieval hospitals, or reminders of them in historical markers or the names of towns. Hospitals played a key role in the Camino’s devotional infrastructure which helped increase the accessibility and popularity of the pilgrimage in the Middle Ages. This episode will explore the religious and political landscape that contributed to the development of a chain of hospitals along the Camino. It will also discuss the groups that patronized hospitals and the types of services pilgrims could have expected to receive.
