Is this a first?
Hundreds of books have been written on the Camino Frances by pilgrims but at last we have a pilgrim's account of his walk on the Via de la Plata.
In 2006 at age 68, Marcus Wilder walked and limped 600 miles from Seville along the Via de la Plata to Santiago de Compostela.
His book Naïve & Abroad: Spain, Limping 600 Miles Through History, is the compilation of 28 columns he wrote for the San Antonio EXPRESS-News, reprinted with bits of history sandwiched between about Moors, Bidets, 1492, Gypsies, Jews, the civil war, Romans, Costa del Sol, Templars, and more. The book is cantered by a fine fifty-photo photo essay by über-pilgrim Brandon Wilson.
I'm sure this is going to be a welcome addition to any peregrinos bookshelf - especially those contemplating walking the VDLP.
