Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.  Chronicle Of  Love, is the chronicle of one pilgrim's journey along the 1200 year old 'Via Aquitania' from France to Galicia.  The book details the story of a non-Catholic man journeying and intersecting with other pilgrims walking to Santiago while questioning and discovering their beliefs in this historical pilgrimage.  With accurate depictions of people and place, fragments of prayers and Spanish poetry, this magnificent book becomes a cultural and spiritual odyssey.

A PRACTICAL PILGRIM'S GUIDE TO SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA.
