Pilgrims with Credit Cards

Saintly Queen Isabel of Portugal walked the Camino de Santiago in 1306. Seven hundred and twelve years later, Princess Asifa gave it a shot.

When husband David invited her to walk the Camino del Norte with him, she laid down the conditions. "No hostels. Only private rooms with ensuite bathrooms," she decreed. "And a team of sherpas please, to carry my backpack."

If only

She cast aside her tiara, laced up her hiking boots, grabbed her credit card, and walked. Out of nowhere, footfalls with no footprints began to walk with her in step. Who could it be?

With irreverence and compassion, Asifa's stories immerse us in a quirky world of Camino history and mysteries, ham bocadillos and dust, aching feet and transcendence. Killer cows, Mary Poppins moments and stone boats guided by angels are only part of the story. Enjoy the magic and feel the pain that only walking the Camino can bring.

Come with her on a pilgrim's journey.
