The Pilgrimage to Santiago is Edwin Mullins’s classic account of one of the world’s most famous journeys - from Paris to Santiago de Compostela. First published in 1974, the account is an amalgam of history and geography, religion and archaeology, fact and legend.

Travelling by car and by foot Edwin Mullins takes the Saint James pilgrimage route out of a fascination with its extraordinary thousand year historical and religious symbolism, journeying from Rue St Jacques in Paris to the Baroque cathedral in Santiago he recounts legends and ideologies and looks at the pilgrims themselves, their motives and experiences, ‘the millions of people who walk the same journey - out of love, out of punishment, duty, fear, or out of simple blind faith.’
