The Spiritual Traveler: Spain: A Guide to Sacred Sites and Pilgrim Routes

This is a tremendous book on Spain, especially for persons who have a conscious spiritual pursuit in their lives. The author has obviously spent a whole lot of time on the ground throughout Spain, knows it well and wants to help you in getting to know it better in your own way. She also has done the historical and anthropological research to give in depth background to her observations and guidance. I have used this book during my travels in Spain and it guided me to places that would have been unknown to me. Then it helped me to see, experience, and understand what would not have been apparent to me.

This book brings new meaning to the word pilgrimage. Dr. Bahrami's passion for the spiritual takes the reader/traveler to the many famous and not so famous sacred sites in every region of Spain. This author blends a clear, interesting account of the history, geography,folklore, mythology, and religious traditions of each site. What is most intriguing is to read about the strong feminine presence found in many of the sacred sites. I would recommend this book for anyone seeking meaningful experiences beyond the usual tourist locations.

really liked her writing style about relishing day to day details on her stay in france

Thank you.
