Ein etwas anderer Bericht vom Jakobsweg. Auf der Wanderung im Sommer erfuhr ich, es gäbe noch einen weiteren Jakobsweg in Spanien. Einen viel älteren. Camino Primitivo – der ursprüngliche Weg. Erste Pilger waren schon im 9. und 10. Jahrhundert aufgebrochen, nahmen die Wanderung durch die gebirgige Landschaft im Nordwesten Spaniens auf sich, überwanden hohe Pässe mit dem Ziel Santiago de Compostela.

I sin gennemresearchede bog "Gå tur" formidler Skyggebjerg, hvordan gåturen ikke blot øger vores fysiske og psykiske velbefindende og styrker vores relationer, men i sin yderste konsekvens er en revolutionær praksis. Bogen trækker på såvel ældgammel filosofi som moderne forskning, kædet sammen af gribende beskrivelser af vigtige gåture i forfatterens eget liv.
