The authors seek to show that in the first years of the 21st century the category of tourism was already present in the context of these pilgrimages through economic, political and economic actors, ecclesiastics; that the pilgrims, however, saw tourism as something external and antagonistic to the being; that in a period of about ten years tourism - as a nominative category, practice and experience - has been and is being seen by them as something necessarily antagonistic to their experiences. it analyzes how and why this has occurred and how tourism is incorporated by them as part of their practices and experiences.
