Call of the Camino by Robert Mullen

ISBN: 978-1-84409-510-0
Myth and Meaning on the Road to Compostela, 208 pages paperback

Why is the Camino Santiago so popular?
Bob discovers why as he walks along the Camino Francés to the shrine of Saint James at Santiago de Compostela. He uncovers the history of the Camino, as well as several of the myths, legends, and miracle stories that have given special meaning to this journey. Since personal myths are an essential part of this lore, Bob also includes stories from the confraternity of the pilgrims, people from all corners of the world who visit this walk for a great diversity of reasons, but all of whom leave having experienced the same miracle—that this pilgrimage will change their lives forever.

"It would be tempting to compare the Call of the Camino to Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales but it is a very different book. The Call of the Camino is about the pilgrims and their own journey; there are no tales told by the travellers."
— Martin Wilson, factOidz read the full review here

"A well-researched pilgrimage combined with the extensively documented personal experience has created a fascinating taster of the life changing adventure so many pilgrims undertake." — Gareth Rowson in World Wide an on-line adventure magazine. Read the full review here
