Those who have walked the Camino will know just how compelling is
the magic to be found along this way. In Medieval Wanders and
Wonders Kate Simons delves into the drama that can be sensed in
glorious cathedrals and mysterious religious houses, the thrills
shared by fellow walkers and the triumph of arriving in Santiago de
Compostela. But, having gazed upon magnificent art and experienced
the vast Spanish skies, do pilgrims question the significance of
James' holy bones, the influence the saints wrought on western
civilization or the peculiarity of medieval pilgrimage? By
examining the mysteries, sometimes grisly, sometimes delightful, of
witches, heresy, obsolete religious practices and knights Kate
attempts to answer these questions. She also provides personal
reflections and anecdotes from her own Camino walk and subsequent
trips to northern Spain undertaken with her husband. As well as
asking deep questions, Medieval Wanders and Wonders offers insight
into the nature of pilgrimage and the curiosities and marvels of
medieval Spain.
