The contents of this lecture
are included in the above-mentioned book "Ultreia: Historias
y Leyendas...". The interjection "Ultreia",
which expresses happiness, was the word said by pilgrims on
their arrival in Santiago. Showing his delicate sense of humour,
the writer tells his adventures along the mythical Route.
In an entertaining style, humorous and ironic at the same
time, the book discovers what pilgrims can find and what they
may need over such a long and strenous journey. It also describes
the places through which passes the Route, and tells popular
legends recalled by their inhabitants. The author also describes
the troubled entry into the Cathedral of an excessive number
of pilgrims with the same intention.
