A parable that explores the need to find one’s own path. In the end, we discover that the extraordinary is always found in the ordinary and simple ways of everyday people.

• WHAT THE PSYCHIC TOLD THE PILGRIM – by Jane Christmas 

Jane sets out on the Camino in celebration of her fiftieth birthday, ignoring the warnings of a psychic who has told her that taking 14middle-aged women on a 800-kilometre trek is not a good idea.  She loses them her first day and then her real adventures start.  Acerbic and funny, it is an interesting study of the politics of women and the power of intuition.

 

 

• SPANISH STEPS: One man and his Ass on the Way to Santiago – by Tim Moore  

Life is never dull if you decide to walk 800 kilometres across the north of Spain with a French donkey – a lady of strong opinions, who leads Londoner Tim Moore a merry chase, so to speak.
Carrying a pack would be easier but not nearly as much fun.  A good read and a good book that for all its nonsense captures the spirit of the Road to Santiago.

 

 

• A FOOD LOVERS’S PILGRIMAGE TO SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA – by Nolan Dee, Earl Carter (Photographer)
