[QUOTE="Silvester, post: 212149, member: 30993"] My father had a copy of Canterbury Tales in a plain wrapper and I voraciously read it as a child but thought many of the stories were pretty rude. However, I was researching my father's genealogy 15 years ago and discovered that his Irish forebears had been pilgrims and his Scottish forebears were really Jews escaping from Isabella La Catolica and the thought took root to one day walk where they had walked. I figured that there were 2 major destinations back in the first millenium - Jerusalem and Santiago - and thought Spain was a more credible route for both sets of ancestors. However I had no idea that modern day pilgrims took to the camino in such volumes until last year when I feel both the need to go for a long reflective walk and the quickening of the call to walk the route of my forebears. So I figured that the Irish soldiers would have done the Primitivo from the north coast and the Jewish refugees would have been heading north ASAP so I'll walk the Salvador, tag the northern coast at Villaviciosa, then walk the Primitivo and Fisterra this time. I'm also quite taken with vernacular architecture of humble structures, mozarabic architecture and ancient structures. Coming from the antipodes, I am intrigued also with being in a landscape where people lived, loved, warred and worked thousands of years ago and left tangible artifacts. [/QUOTE]
