Crossing Spain
‘‘A wave of fear swept over me. It was the first feeling of the camino!’’
Fernando, pilgrim, Brazil.
El Camino de Santiago – the Way of St James – an historic pilgrimage trail through northwestern Spain. Once a Roman trade route, for over a thousand years it has attracted travellers (over 270,000 in 2016) from around the world who come to walk, reflect and find like-minded companions.
Why in our secular age are so many people captivated by this medieval Christian pilgrimage? Perhaps it's because in our busy modern lives, more than ever, we need escape valves like the Camino, a chance to empty the hard drive and refresh the spirit.
This project is a celebration of the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other as a powerful way to access the mind and spirit
