2010, the last Holy Year, was a busy and vibrant time on the Camino. The number of pilgrims walking the Camino and receiving a Compostela more than doubled from previous years. The Archbishop of Santiago opened a special door to the Cathedral on the afternoon of December 31st, 2020 signifying the beginning of a new Jubilee year. In this case, two Holy Years as both 2021 and 2022 qualify.
