Roads to Santiago

Roads to Santiago (Dutch: De omweg naar Santiago) is a 1992 travelogue by the Dutch writer Cees Nooteboom.

It focuses on the pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

The book was reviewed in Publishers Weekly: "The pilgrims' route to the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain has long been a favorite subject of travel writers, but few have covered it as entertainingly, quirkily and, finally, movingly as Dutch essayist Nooteboom (The Following Story)."

The critic continued: "At one point, Nooteboom compares writing history to putting together a jigsaw puzzle.

But what's here is an idiosyncratic, informative, introspective reading adventure.
