This book, translated from the Spanish by Laurie Dennett, is basically a guide book, a pocket companion, for those making the journey on foot along the Spanish part of the Way of St James from the Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela and to the tomb of St James the Apostle. It is a route taken by thousands of pilgrims every year. However, this little book is more than just a guide book to places on the way. The authors highlight the changing cultures, the different art forms, the variety of landscapes along the way. The text is enriched with prayers, poems, extracts and maps. They emphasise particularly the religious dimension as well as the human and historical, that the Way is indeed a metaphor for Life. The city of Santiago is not the destination; the Way itself is the destination. Our whole life is a pilgrimage on the pathway to the Eternal, to God.
