“Long before one ever takes one’s first footsteps on the Camino another pilgrimage has often been traversed in the comfort of one’s home. This is a pilgrimage of pages, navigated over the period of years, sometimes decades, through the background literature and personal narratives of the Way to Santiago de Compostela. And for every pilgrim, there is a unique, never waymarked, transitioning from pages to pavement.”
