What is your book about? When, where was it published? Did you get the story, or stories from that old book: "Naughty doings in the Camino"? (Picardias in el Camino). Have you read "Murder and Mayhem in the French Camino"?  (En el Camino Frances to dan gato por res, etc.)
Reading the surprising doings in the Camino that went on and on, one wonders how and why it became as positively sanitized as it is today.
Surprisingly, German pilgrims, as they set off in groups from the albergues in the monasteries and convents in Bavaria today,  tend to wear a sort of loose clothing that is reminiscent of the ancient pilgrims' clothing which, in times past, pilgrims  had to wear to gain admission to albergues and such. That obligatory clothing gave rise, and cover, to a great many of the misdeeds written about.  I wonder why some pilgrims seem to want to revive  the clothing customs.
Hugs!

Hi Rosina

It will definitely work if you just forward the original message with the url in it.

I wrote in my book 'The way of stars and stones' about the story of Daniel looking with that silly grin on his face at Esther's breasts (what very clever stone masons!) and the revenge the Galicians took with the shaping of their cheeses -- I loved that story -- as I do the many other little myths and legends in and around the camino
