Spanish Pilgrimage by Robin Hanbury-Tenison

For a thousand years a long, hot, dangerous track over mountains, arid plains and rich countryside has led pilgrims to the great cathedral of St James at Santiago de Compostela. From Roncesvalles in the Pyrenees to rain-washed Galicia, the route covers all the variety of Northern Spain's countryside, with centuries of history and legend. With his wife and four-year-old son, Robin Hanbury-Tenison travelled this route the traditional way - riding white horses and with the pilgrim's scallop shell emblazoned on their shirts. Their adventures, related in this book, taught them more about the people and the country than any conventional traveller could learn, and their "green pilgrimage" reveals an ecological vision for tomorrow's world. The author's other travel books include "A Ride Along the Great Wall" and "Fragile Eden".
