A walk through hidden Galicia on the trail of saints and scholars. A magical journey out of time and into silence, peace and beauty. Bursting with lyrical phrases and pictures.In August 2016 I walked north from Porto on the Camino Portuguese, to Santiago de Compostela. The route that made the deepest impression came just after Pontevedra: The Spiritual Variant, or Stone and Water Route, added to the Camino itinerary in 2013. Its meditative paths led me through a region of lavish fertility; of vineyards and green pastures; of forested hillsides, remote glens and living waters. By following it, I discovered a place of history, myth and Celtic resonance with Ireland. I offer these words from a desire to share something of its wonder and so that you, too, might be tempted to walk its paths.
