Pocket Pilgrim: A wobbly journey along the Camino de Santiago

The craggy mountains of Navarre, the sumptuous valleys of wine rich La Rioja, the hot, flat cereal plains of Castilla y Leon and the hilly cattle country of Galicia. These four distinctive regions of northern Spain provide the stunning backdrop to the 'French Way' of the Camino de Santiago; the ancient and famous pilgrimage trail that stretches over 800 kilometres from the French Pyrenees in the east, to the Atlantic coast of Spain's far north west.

This is the story of one man's journey along this physically demanding and mentally challenging trail. The authors own journal of his long trek acts not only as a colourful and informative travel guide to the Camino, but also provides a vivid, moving and honest account of his personal experiences and moments of enlightenment encountered on this fascinating, emotional and life affirming journey.

Helped along throughout by a dry and self-deprecating humour, the narrative is studded with witty anecdotes, eccentric diversions and personal reflections; lubricated by the many glasses of beer and bottles of wine Murphy consumes along the way! You are invited to partake of a few glasses too, as you accompany him on his absorbing and uplifting journey of discovery.
