The scallop shell is one of the oldest symbols of the Way to Campostela. Legend says that pilgrims picked them up at the sea three days walk past Campostela and carried them home as proof that they had actually made the entire trip. Now the scallop shell is used all over Spain to mark the Way.
I like the template you're using and the images you've chosen. The curator in you emerges. But to make this real, I think you need sensorama or something so we can smell the reek as you proceed along the pilgrimage path, as the images may deceive us.
