Find the symbolism of the scallop shell or Santiago has not been easy, nor conclusive, since there are a variety of opinions on the origin of the integration of the scallop shell as a symbol of the pilgrimage to Santiago.
What is certain is that the shell saw was renamed "Concha de Santiago" because when the pilgrims my great arrived in Santiago de Compostela, they were given a scroll that confirmed them as pilgrims and were put on his hat and coat shell scallop, which is presumably "inter alia", demonstrated his stay in Santiago, so back to their home villages had no doubt his "achievement and personal merit."
In fact, there was a major market in the city of Santiago around the marketing of scallop shells, the sale outside this city was strictly forbidden under threat of excommunication from the Catholic Church. In the various establishments in the city not only authentic shells brought from the beaches of Galicia, but a whole variant small pilgrim shells my great of different materials that were sold as a souvenir, charm and keepsake for family and friends of the pilgrims were sold and visitors to the city.
For others, the Concha de Santiago is a stylization of the webbed foot of a goose symbol to many ancient traditions of initiation recognition, and for that reason would be related to the pilgrimage to Compostela.
