A Slow Travel Experience and Rationale. The Camino de Santiago Five-day Travel Guide

'Dear slow traveller,

I invite you on an adventure of walking. I invite you on the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain, a pilgrim’s route dating back to the Middle Ages. It starts in St Jean Pied de Port and finishes in the World Heritage Site of the city of Santiago de Compostela (Lois González, 2013; see Figure 1). I walked this route myself over the summer of 2020, and this slow travel experience changed my life. Therefore, I decided to create a guide to this experience with aims, thinking prompts, and suggested actions (as well as my photographs). I hope this guide can aid you in your journey and reproduce some of the joy and beauty I experienced.' Sara Lovecka
