The Pilgrimage Road to Santiago Book. This is an invaluable guide to the richness of this thousand-kilometer long stretch of cultural treasures. The road across northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela in the northwest was one of the three major Christian pilgrimage routes during the Middle Ages. Today, the route winds from the heights of the Pyrenees to the rolling fields and hills of Galicia. This book is a fascinating step-by-step guide to the cultural history of the route. Organized geographically, the book covers aspects of the terrain, places of interest, history, artistic movements, and each town and village's historical relationship to the pilgrimage. Includes information about art, architecture, geology, history, folklore, saints' lives, and flora and fauna.Authors: David M. Gitlitz and Linda Kay Davidson.
