In Spanish with some parts translated into English. Gorgeous photographs throughout. "Since 813, the year of the inventio (Discovery) of the mortal remains of St. James in Campus Stellae, millions of pilgrims have travelled to worship at the apostle's tomb in what constitutes one of the greatest streams of people, ideas and merchandise that has ever flowed through the European continent. It was along St. James way that the main medieval architectural styles, the Romanesque and the Gothic, reached the peninsula; and the St. James's Way fostered the foundation of cities, the construction of bridges and the restoration of roads. What rpompted so many people from so many walks of life to leave everything behind and set off on the Way, despite its many perils? And above all, what is the Way? Why did the governing powers foster pilgrimages at a time marked by the sedentariness of the feudal system? Why, in today's secularised world, are there still hundreds of thousands of pilgrims who feel the urge to follow in their predecessors' footsteps? This book sets out to provide a number of clues to the answers to these and many other questions." --Back cover | **A heavy, large item.
