"100 Caminos 100 Relatos: short stories to Santiago" brings together the experiences, sorrows and joys of pilgrims, written by the pilgrims themselves. It came out of the Círculo's story contests and already has three volumes (2020, 2021 and 2023). All of them can be downloaded free as PDF.
100 Caminos 100 Relatos
Short stories to Santiago, written by pilgrims.
The Camino de Santiago marks every pilgrim who walks its paths, whatever their reason. Those experiences, adventures, sorrows and joys are what we want to capture in this project: "100 Caminos 100 Relatos: short stories to Santiago". Words create realities, remind us of moments and bring yesterday's emotions into the present.
100 Caminos 100 Relatos wants to be a showcase for pilgrims' experiences and a companion for those who want to walk the Camino or are already on it.
The Camino de Santiago is an experience that marks every pilgrim who walks its trails. This project, «100 Ways 100 Stories: short stories to Santiago», collects those experiences, sorrows and joys, as a showcase for pilgrims' stories and a companion for those who walk the Camino.
Call closed. Registration for the contests is closed for now.
