Publisher's Synopsis
In their search for a deeper meaning to life and to balance the stress and anxiety of most western lifestyles increasing numbers are taking time out to go on a pilgrimage. Many of them choose that most famous pilgrim's route the Camiño de Compostella. In fact the number of pilgrims along this path has increased tenfold over the past decade to an average of 44,000 per annum. John Brierley walked the Camiño and was bitten by the bug. Not only has he now walked many of the major paths to Santiago but he has also explored some of the less well known pilgrim's paths still to be discovered by the masses. The path from Santiago to Finisterre - the end of the World, is a path that is being discovered by more and more pilgrims and there is a dearth of information published about it.. This guidebook features: · an easy-to-carry, pocket-fitting size · magnificent full colour maps and photographs · a diary to record both outer and inner experiences · notes on the history of this ancient pilgrimage route and its influence on European art and culture · inspirational quotations. Here is a book worth reading just for the pure pleasure and delight of it. It will be of invaluable help to the pilgrim and an inspiration for those who only dream of such adventures.
