{"product_id":"9789076660400","title":"The Scots Way to Santiago de Compostela","description":"Looking at medieval maps of the traditional pilgrim routes to the\u003cbr\u003eSpanish cathedral city of Santiago de Compostela, it is noticeable that there are no roads from Scotland. Noticeable at least to the\u003cbr\u003eScots author of this book.\u003cp\u003ePatrick Farnon, who splits his time between Scotland, the\u003cbr\u003eNetherlands and Spain, says: \"I thought it might be a good idea to invent such a route. Of the various well-trodden roads to Santiago we have the French way (El Camino Frances), the Fisterra Way (El\u003cbr\u003eCamino de Fisterra), the English Way (El Camino Ingles), the Silver\u003cbr\u003eWay (La Via de La Plata from Seville), the Northern Way (El\u003cbr\u003eCamino del Norte, along the Cantabrian and Basque coasts) and the\u003cbr\u003ePrimitive Way (El Camino Primitivo, from Oviedo). There's also a\u003cbr\u003ePortuguese Way. So why not a Scots Way to Santiago?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe situation now stands corrected. In this amusing record of a personal odyssey across the shoulder of Spain looking for the links between the Scots and the Spanish, Farnon mixes the Medieval with the Modern and discovers all sorts of marvels and wonders as well as a few charlatans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this account he covers the Camino Frances to Santiago de\u003cbr\u003eCompostela and way back via the Camino de Fisterra and the\u003cbr\u003eCamino del Norte, a trip of nearly two thousand kilometres. He also finds more than a few ancient links, which means there is at last a\u003cbr\u003eScots Way to Santiago de Compostela, even if it is a very singular one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WordBridge Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059088146672,"sku":"9789076660400","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789076660400_p0.jpg?v=1763671072","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789076660400","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
