Walk, Create, Start! The Camino de Santiago is transformed into a Laboratory of Innovative Ideas
Mondoñedo, Lugo. Did you know that walking not only exercises your body, but also lights up your brain and renews your neurons? Taking advantage of this powerful synergy, an innovative experience has been born that fuses the ancient tradition of Camino de Santiago with the effervescence of entrepreneurship: «The Creative Way of Santiago».
This pioneering initiative invites you to tour the North Road for three intense days, from July 4 to 7, with a strategic stop in the historic Episcopal city of Mondoñedo (Lugo). Here, inspiration will flow not only from the Galician landscapes, but from a program designed to bring your business ideas to life.
Step Strong, Think Big: A Unique Synergy
Belén Elisa Díaz, president of España Creativa, explains it with passion: "Walking is always a source of inspiration in contact with nature and, furthermore, entrepreneurship together, walking together, has very important synergies when creating and launching a business where we can share the doubts and concerns that different entrepreneurs have."
During your stay in Mondoñedo, you will participate in practical workshops on business opportunities and fundraising, combining these sessions with enriching tourist visits. But the most exciting thing will be the brainstorm collective, a space where your project can take shape, be nourished by the experience of others and overcome the first obstacles.
This initiative arises with a double purpose: support new entrepreneurs in the challenging journey that goes from the conception of an idea to its materialization, and in turn, retain talent within our country. It is about generating creative ecosystems in our destinations, helping business dreams take root at home.
Who is it for?The Creative Path«?
This program is aimed at any entrepreneur or organization who aspires to launch their idea in the Cultural Industries Sector. It is also ideal for those seeking to use culture and innovation as levers to reactivate more traditional sectors of the economy, from the primary to the tertiary sector.
A clear example of the success that “El Camino Creativo” seeks are Marcelo and Mayka, artisans from the Muíños neighborhood of Mondoñedo. Their project, presented in the first edition of the España Crea Contest, was awarded the First Prize Red Eléctrica – España Creativa 2025, awarded at the I National Meeting of Creative Entrepreneurs held recently in the Ribeira Sacra.
If you have an idea bubbling in your head and you need the push, inspiration and support to make it a reality, the Creative Path offers you an unparalleled opportunity. Prepare your boots and your notebook of ideas, because your next great project could be born on the Jacobean Route!
