Description
Tim Moore's epic journey across Spain is a tale of eccentricity and adventure. With a donkey named Shinto by his side, he sets out to follow in the footsteps of medieval pilgrims, navigating over 500 miles of varied landscapes.
The result is a story that blends humor with heart, as Moore and Shinto encounter an array of characters, from businessmen at city-centre zebra crossings to policewomen on lonely plains. Along the way, the pilgrimage evolves into something more than just a devotional undertaking - it becomes a mobile therapist's couch for a multinational band of eccentrics.
Ludicrous, heart-warming and improbably inspirational, Spanish Steps is a journey that will leave you smiling. With its unique blend of humor and adventure, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone looking for a story that will stay with them long after they finish reading.
