Infos

This unique and engrossing travelogue which  paints a vivid picture of the journey along the ‘Camino’ trail and is also a very personal account of the way in which pilgrim journeys can be a source of emotional transformation, enable the rediscovery of our oneness with the natural, and be a source of spiritual healing.

---

Almost 300,000 people ‘officially’ complete the journey to Santiago each year – hundreds of thousands more travel at least part of the way.



In this book, Richard Frazer discovers on his pilgrimage to the shrine of St James the Great  how a journey – wherever it is made – undertaken with an open and hospitable heart can provide spiritual renewal and transformation, filling what many people see as the spiritual void in 21st century life. 



This absorbing account reveals how the pilgrim journey can be nourishment for the human heart. It connects us to landscape and brings us to the mystery of what it is to be human and vulnerable and open to the kindness of strangers and the gift of the new and the unexpected.
