The mystery pilgrim
Augustine the Aleut, one of our most seasoned Mystery Worshippers, hit Europe's most famous pilgrimage route, the Camino, first in 2002, and then again in 2007 and 2009. Destination: Santiago de Compostela, Spain. On the way, he braved freezing cold in the Pyrenees, snoring in the hostels, blistered feet and early morning cups of fortifying café con leche.

In this special Mystery Worshipper feature, Augustine reports on the different churches he visited en route. Click the links below for Augustine's reports, plus his introduction to the whole experience.
