Publisher's Synopsis
The French Route of the Pilgrim's Way to Santiago:
A journey through history, nature and spirituality.
From the heart of the Pyrenees, among the picturesque streets of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, to the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean, the French Way of the Pilgrim's Way is an experience that goes beyond a simple journey: it is a transformation, an adventure of body and soul.
Step by step, you will cross breathtaking landscapes and cities rich in history: the rolling hills of Navarre, the vast plateaus of the Castilian Meseta, the mystical forests of Galicia. Every stone trodden encloses centuries of stories, every medieval village whispers legends of pilgrims and knights, every albergue is a crossroads of encounters, emotions and stories to share.
Once in Santiago de Compostela, the majestic cathedral will welcome you with its stone embrace and the roar of the Botafumeiro censer. But the journey does not end here. Continuing on to Finisterre, the 'border of the world' for the ancients, and then on to the mystical Muxía, where the land meets the sea in a wild embrace, the last act of this extraordinary pilgrimage takes place.
A journey that will forever be etched in the mind, where fatigue dissolves in the beauty of the landscape, where time loses meaning, and where every step is a return to oneself.
