    About this ebook

    Robert Ward has always enjoyed travelling, especially on foot. When he discovered the ancient pilgrimage route to Santiago in Spain, he felt compelled to walk and experience this historic road. From his first journey along the Camino de Santiago, Ward fell in love with the pace, landscape, history, art, and romance of this old pilgrimage path. Above all, however, Ward fell in love with the people of the Camino – both the welcoming Spaniards and the pilgrims who come from all over the world to find out what it means to travel five hundred miles, one step at a time.

    In All the Good Pilgrims, Ward returns to Spain to walk the Camino for the fifth time. He thinks he knows what he’s getting into but, as his many Camino journeys have taught him, the Camino never runs out of surprises. Each day brings new lessons, friendships, questions, memories, gifts and challenges, reminding Ward that it isn’t the pilgrim who walks the Camino – it’s the Camino that walks the pilgrim. An engaging travel narrative, All the Good Pilgrims is a personal and insightful tour of the Camino de Santiago, as Ward takes readers on a secular pilgrimage in which he reflects on his past journeys and contemplates the mysterious and enduring allure of this ancient and historic road.

      This was only the second time in my longish life that it had happened… I woke up, tried to get out of bed, and found I had lost the use of my legs. The first time, ten years earlier, had been after an op and general anaesthetic. Now I was just turnin

      “Your fourth Camino?” an incredulous hiker asked me at the airport. “Why?” “Let’s speak again at the end of this trip,” I replied. “Then we’ll see whether you still think once is enough.” The Camino is like a box of Eet-sum-mor biscuits – one is ne
