This is UNESCO's own World Heritage List entry for the Routes of Santiago de Compostela in Spain, covering the Camino Frances and the Routes of Northern Spain, inscribed in 2015 in extension of the 1993 original listing. As the issuing body's own official record it is the correct source for the fact, criteria and date of that heritage designation. Its limit is genre: a World Heritage List entry documents recognition, not a scholarly history of the pilgrimage's medieval origins or its modern revival as a walking route, so a claim about that deeper history needs a historical source alongside this designation record.
