El camino mozárabe
Twelve years after the publication of 'El mozárabe,' the iconic novel that has sold over a million copies and whose success crossed borders and is now forever linked to the greats of the genre, such as 'Los pilares de la tierra', 'Memorias de Adriano' and 'El último Catón', Jesús Sánchez Adalid is back to transport us to the marvellously enthralling setting of the 10th century with a cast of unforgettable characters. Power, prestige, intrigue and a desire for peace are all to be found in a wonderful novel that rescues the scents of the Caliphate of Cordoba, takes us through bucolic Galicia and gives us access, in a simple yet gripping style, to an immensely important period in our history. And all using the route that linked the north of the country to the south - Al Andalus and the mythical 'End of the World', where Saint James' tomb is to be found - — known today as the 'Camino Mozárabe,' or Mozarabic Way.
