“The Camino de Santiago hasn’t been this popular since the Middle Ages. Every year, more and more people are heading to walk this web of pilgrim trails that heads to Galicia and ultimately the tomb of St James in Santiago de Compostela, and Paulo Coelho’s The Pilgrimage is the classic literary companion to this journey.
The Pilgrimage recounts Coelho’s own journey, taken in the 1980s, along what he calls ‘the strange road to Santiago’, along with his mysterious guide Petrus, on a quest for enlightenment. In some ways, it’s a bit like the Camino itself; just as that walk can mean different things to different walkers, so this book will affect different readers in different ways.
It probably will make you think, and it will definitely make you Camino-curious.”
