“What would it be like to be there? To meet fellow pilgrims? To interact with the Spanish culture? What would my inner process be as I walked in the steps of seekers from over the centuries? A walk of reverence surely, for walking the Camino to Santiago is sacred firmament.”

“Pilgrims... will be most appreciative of Gabriel’s rendering of a journey,
that reveals life on earth as it is,
in all it’s contradictions and mystery.”
