Résumé (en anglais)

The Camino de Santiago constitutes an exceptionally complex heritage site in which literary, linguistic, musical and aesthetic codes overlap simultaneously enhancing each others attributes. El Camino de Santiago has been shaped through material, natural and cultural elements (landscapes, buildings…) and both immaterial and intangible values (religion, beliefs, oral tradition, songs…). So, what is “this place’s” spirit like? One could compared it to the anatomy of puff pastry, in which every layer has its texture, quality and raison d'être, and in which all of them together make sense and in unison give sense to the whole. We will show that the particular fragility of the components (significantes) of this tangible heritage is the root cause for them falling into oblivion and as a consequence the loss of heritage values (significados); these losses make it difficult to identify and understand the spirit of the place. Through education and knowledge we will be able to analyze the writings of this “palimpsesto”, Camino de Santiago, so that they are learnt, conserved, and interpreted without any twist or distortion.
