These are compelling stories set in beautiful Spanish landscapes and in bustling cities, and they are the stories of the human connections built from funny, shocking and poignant experiences.

Why do so many people chose to walk this way? What did the author hope to gain from the experience? Was the food tasty? How was the wine? A lot of uphill? Any bedbugs?

Follow along with the author, as she follows the yellow arrows and the proverbial yellow brick road, and tries not to get lost on her way to Santiago.

This is book is for the armchair traveller and for those planning on taking a trip to Spain to walk the route for themselves. Sit back be inspired and let the magic of the Camino unfold!
