Summary

What compels a retired couple to hike 500 miles across Spain?

Narrated by the author with warmth, humor, and heartfelt reflection, The Long Walk to Compostela invites you to join a married couple in their mid sixties as they set out to walk all 500 miles of the Camino de Santiago, the legendary pilgrimage route across northern Spain.

What begins as a long walk soon becomes something much deeper, a test of endurance, partnership, and perseverance. Along the way, they encounter dangerous weather in the Pyrenees, robust urban cultures and quaint small villages, seemingly endless Meseta plains that play with their minds, and an eclectic cast of characters that will be impossible to forget. More than a travelogue, this is a story of transformation, aging with purpose, and rekindling the connection between partners, with other pilgrims, and with life itself.

For those curious about the Camino, facing a major life transition, or yearning for a deeper connection to the world, this intimate and compelling narration draws the listener into the sights, sounds, and emotions that come with hiking across Spain.

Press play and join these two pilgrims on this amazing adventure, one mile, one unforgettable interaction, and one life-altering revelation at a time.
