Publisher's Synopsis
In 1522, Ignatius of Loyola decided to become a pilgrim. The consequences of this choice touch us today in this new twenty-first century pilgrimage. Thanks to this guide, we can follow in the footsteps of Ignatius and choose from our Camino's options the level of intensity we are looking for: shelter or pensión, hotel or tent, supermarket or restaurant, all on foot or using public transport...each pilgrim can choose his or her own way and reach his or her personal goal, completing the physical, spiritual and mental challenges that every pilgrimage presents.
This guide points out the most prominent places along the route, the services available in each region and the struggles to be faced by the pilgrim who takes up the challenge. It also offers practical advice for advance preparation. Above all, it offers tips for journeying the «inner way», a path to the hearts of twenty-first century men and women following in the footsteps of Ignatius, who overcame uncertainty and hardship to find enlightenment and peace. The pilgrim, in all certainty, will not feel let down.
