Sue,
Richardis went to jerusalen with her husband. During their way back, he
died.And then she went to Santiago. The book do not say if she was alone ,
but i´m sure she was not alone. At that time also men were looking for
company to take care of animals an bandits inthe Camino.

The book is a classic in Spain. In fact is a three books work, with a total
of 1500 pages.It was written in 1945, to give impetum to the Camino after
the war.

 IF you are interested in a particular topic, tell me, and i will try to be
helpful.

Buen Camino,  pepe
