Compostela-Cordoba Association

The Compostela-Cordoba Association is a non-profit association created in spring 2009 at the initiative of a few pilgrims of Compostela, Jerusalem and Mecca.

It seeks to be a bridge between cultures. In the spirit of Compostela, it strives to promote respect for the dignity of every human being and faithfulness to one’s path in life. In the spirit of Cordoba, it seeks to foster a dynamic encounter between traditions, allowing each person to deepen their vision of themselves and of the world by opening up to others and welcoming them.

All the world’s pilgrims walk towards an encounter with themselves. In leaving their familiar landmarks, they agree to strip themselves of the comfort of their habits and received ideas, and learn to trust the unexpected and the unknown. While some voices speak of a global confrontation, the time has come for every person, every tradition and every culture to walk towards one another, giving themselves the chance to renew their vision of themselves and of the world.
