Along The Way

Since Along the Way was published in 2014, the number of pilgrims traversing the Camino Frances has continued to increase substantially. A friend of the author's, a long-distance walker who is a former chair of the Confraternity of Pilgrims to Rome and the author of two engaging pilgrimage books, tells of a walk he undertook several years ago in Spain, wherein he had to wait until the westerly flow of pilgrim traffic for Compostela had cleared before he could cross the intersection and proceed northward on his own, non-Camino, route. Along the Way, seven years on, continues to be the most comprehensive book published for a lay audience about the popular culture of the Camino. By including over a hundred photographs, the book remains one of the most detailed illustrated records in an inexpensive, non-coffee-table format. This Revised Edition does not alter the original book but is based on providing additional material presented on two new websites that have been specifically created.
