Description

From Porto to Santiago: a pilgrim’s journal. Stefan Korf

Every year, about half a million people follow the medieval route of hundreds of kilometers to the shrine of Saint James, one of the disciples of Jesus Christ. To gain an indulgence – or simply to reboot themselves and get to know themselves better. Belarusians also go: you don’t have to be a believer or a sinner to set a goal and reach it together with pilgrims from all over the world.
This book is a diary of such a journey. In September 2025, Stefan Korf walked from Porto to Santiago de Compostela in eleven days and recorded his experiences and impressions. But please be prepared: after reading this book, you will definitely want to make this journey yourself.

144 pp, softcover with flaps, full color print
