Updated - March 2024 Review from W.L Day of Australia - Feb-2019 "Camino Passages takes us on a journey along a path steeped in history, religion and spiritualsignificance; The Camino de Santiago. This journey, this rite of passage, has changed the life of millions, but in ways unique to each.Our journey starts at the cover: which depicts two modern-day pilgrims, holding hands, their backs to the past, gazing into a new, unseen future. Then there is the title, Camino Passages, plural. First the physical passage, then there is the emotional passages, both with their own challenges and rewards. The author exploits each individual's emotional transformation along the physical passages, the true objective of a pilgrimage. Each of these passages transforms lives, at times in totally unexpected ways.The author warns that this is not a travel or planning guide. It isn't. But it could be. Every description is easy to visualize, accurate in detail and, above all authentic.For those lucky enough to have made the passage, it offers a chance of re-visiting the experience in new ways.Lastly, and above all, this is a modern days story that involves as many twists and turns, highs and lows, as the Camino De Santiago itself. It's a journey worth taking."
