Wood travels from Calais and Paris through the south of France and over the Pyrenees into northern Spain, describing cathedrals, monasteries and old towns such as Gerona, Manresa and Zaragoza. Much of the book is about people met on the way, from a Narbonne hostess to the priest Anselmo, with legends of miraculous images and saints along the road.
A leisurely, chatty travel book with an eye for character as much as for architecture. Download the free EPUB.
