Since 2013, the marking of the routes belonging to the St. Jacob’s Pilgrim Paths Network, shrines, other places of interest and accommodation in Lithuania has been taken care of. The Lithuanian Association of Friends of St. James Way, created in 2016 and the Association of Municipalities of St. Jacob’s Road, are full members of the European Federation of Saint James Way since 2018.

Both associations are working on the creation of necessary infrastructures for pilgrims, the dissemination of information about the Lithuanian Camino de Santiago abroad, developing international cooperation and participating in international projects in a coordinated manner.
