Abstract

This article proposes to analyze the nature of the public policies carried out in the management and the development of the roads of Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle since about thirty years, as well as the incidence of these actions in the representation of the paths of Saint -Jacques-de-Compostelle by the pilgrim walkers. After reviewing some facts and figures relating to the paths, this artist reflects on the social and economic forces that are empowered by these paths. Finally, this article addresses the importance of cultural paths in the production of local development strategies.
