What is Silver Route

Chapter 7
Handbook of Research on Socio-Economic Impacts of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage
Cultural route traversing western Spain from Seville to Gijon. It is a St. James Way throughout some hundreds of kilometers. It is erroneously thought that its name comes from the transport and commerce of silver throughout the ancient roman road. But it is the Latin name “Via Delapidata” (road of little stones – “lapidi”) that has generated its actual name. Nowadays it is one of the emerging growing ways to St James but also a well-known route by motorbikers.

Abstract
Using case studies, this chapter reviews the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) to governance for pilgrimage routes in the Vía de la Plata and the Portuguese Way to Santiago (CPIS). The research is based on a set of qualitative techniques, including discussion groups, in-depth interviews, participant observation, team ethnography, and web analysis. This creates a rich and complex material for a deeper understanding of the route a stakeholder experiences. Stakeholders converge or differ in their perceptions of the actual problems of the route, while it is clearly shown how touristic principles or interests clash with other discourses focusing on integrity of historical accuracy or integrity of Xacobean values.
