The Spiritual Variant

My experience here has not only been the culminating point of my journey until now, but the highest point of my life. Being here on the day my mother died provided me a safe place to process it all. This is a place of truth and beauty, a sanctuary.

If God exists, he is definitely present in you and in your example of life. I would like to have a God like you for me, maybe someday I will find him.

“A walk through hidden Galicia on the trail of saints and scholars. The only book on the Variante Espiritual includes both historical and practical information on the route, with places to stay, and contact no’s. In August 2016 I walked north from Porto on the Camino Portuguese, to Santiago de Compostela.The route that made the deepest impression came just after Pontevedra: The Spiritual Variant, or Stone and Water route, which was added to the Camino itinerary in 2013.Its meditative paths led me through a region of lavish fertility; of vineyards and green pastures; of forested hillsides, remote glens and living waters. By following it, I discovered a place of history, myth and Celtic resonance with Ireland.I offer these words from a desire to share something of its wonder and so that you, too, might be tempted to walk its paths.One year later I returned to walk and explore more of the O Salnes region. An additional chapter brings the story up to date.”
