“Walking the Camino: Auf dem Jakobsweg von Winterberg nach Santiago“

by Annette and Robin La Barre is a chronicle of the authors’ walk from their home in Switzerland to St. James’ shrine in Santiago de Compostela

           

The 250 page book is bilingual: The authors relate their adventures in their mother tongues, Annette in German and Robin in English.

Unlike many similar accounts in which the events of the journey are related retrospectively, this book is a true journal of the events of each day of the entire 84-day trip. The book is richly illustrated with colour photographs. It is particularly suitable reading for anyone intending to walk the way of St. James, giving a detailed insight into the pilgrim’s daily routine and a realistic impression of the conditions to be encountered on the route. The book whets the appetite for the Camino!

Some quotes from readers:

"…. it is almost like experiencing the pilgrimage oneself at second hand"
"… you maintain a mixture of detail, human and cultural interest in your daily reports all along the Camino."

"You must be crazy!"
"I followed (nearly all of) your postings….. Congratulations!!!!"

The book is published by Editions à la Carte, Zurich, and may be ordered directly from the publisher (www.editions.ch) or from Amazon (www.amazon.de).
