The Camino de Santiago, also known in English as the Way of Saint James, is a network of pilgrims’ ways leading to the cathedral of the city of the same name, located in Galicia, Spain. Some of the routes are listed in the UNESCO’s world heritage list.

This fictional book is designed for pilgrims. The reader is supposed to start reading the biggest booklet called Savoir (French for “knowledge”). The orange book covers historical and geographical content.

The middle booklet, Préparation, includes a packing list, paper formalities, etc. Pilgrims can pull away the smallest booklet and take it with them while walking the Camino. The Exploration part contains practical information such as the signage along the road, medical advice, or emergency phone numbers.
