Whenever I was asked ' Why did you go to Santiago?' I had a hard time answering How could I explain to those who had not done it that the way has the effect
- if not the virtue
- to make you forget all reasons that led you to become involved in it in the first place Each year tens of thousands of backpackers (Christian pilgrims & many others) set out from either their front doorstep or from popular starting points across Europe to Santiago de Compostela Most travel by foot others ride a bicycle & a few of them travel as did some of their medieval counterparts on horseback or with a donkey In addition to those who undertake a religious pilgrimage the majority are hikers who walk the way for non-religious reasons travel sport or simply the challenge of spending weeks walking in a foreign land Also many consider the experience as a spiritual adventure with a view to removing themselves from the bustle of modern life Jean-Christophe Rufin followed this Northern Way to Santiago de Compostela by foot on over eight hundred kilometers Much less crowded than the usual pilgrimage route this one runs along the Basque & Cantabrian coasts in Spain & through the wild mountains of Asturias & Galicia Translated from the French by Malcolm Imrie & Martina Dervis
