The main Camino route is the Camino Frances. This part of the
Camino de Santiago traditionally starts in St Jean Pied de Port and
finishes in Santiago de Compostela about 780km later, after
travelling the breadth of Northern Spain, However, travellers can
start anywhere and even continue past Santiago to the sea at
Finisterre. Finisterre was thought to be the end of the world in
medieval times. Robert France walked the Camino Frances (all the
way to Finisterre) in Winter and this book is the result of that
adventure. It differs from much of the current literature available
in that is written by someone in middle-age (most accounts are from
the retired or the gap-year student). It is a reflective and
thoughtful account which includes literary references, visual
records and information on architecture, monuments and pilgrimages.
As an example of how much of a 'cult' this walk has become, there
is a community called the Confraternity of St. James, based in
London, whose membership has grown from a half dozen to over two
thousand during the last thirty years. This will have a wide appeal
to all travel enthusiasts the world over as well as modern
pilgrims, of whom there are more than one thinks!
