Description:
In May 2006, armed only with a small rucksack and a staff, Tony Kevin, an overweight, sedentary, 63-year-old former diplomat, set off on an eight-week trek across Spain. But this was not just a very long walk - it was a pilgrimage. From Granada, in the southeast, to Santiago de Compostela, in the far northwest, Tony followed the Via Mozarabe and the Via de la Plata, two of the many pilgrim trails that crisscross Spain and Portugal and that all lead to a single destination. In the Middle Ages, the cathedral city of Santiago de Compostela was Europe's most famous centre of pilgrimage, and in recent years it has enjoyed a remarkable revival; every day towards noon, hundreds of hot, tired, and dusty pilgrims stream into Santiago Cathedral for the daily Pilgrim's Mass. What, in our busy, materialistic 21st century, is this apparently anachronistic phenomenon all about? What drives tens of thousands of people of all nationalities and creeds to make long, exhausting walks across the cold mountains and hot tablelands of Spain, to take part finally in a medieval Christian liturgy of spiritual renewal and reconciliation with God? Walking the Camino beautifully captures the flavour of what it was like to walk the Camino, and is filled with fascinating observations and anecdotes about the nature of contemporary Spain. And because pilgrimage is such a deeply personal experience that has the potential to unlock the deepest recesses of hidden memory and conscience, it is also a profound personal meditation on the nature of modern life. It will be of interest to people who contemplate making, or who have made this walk; to those intere

Not the same as hotel pillows.
Size: King
Ordered this pillow after staying at a Westin hotel. I should have returned it because it seemed different from the pillow at the hotel. It feels worn out and doesn’t keep its shape. Would not recommend.

Big high pillow, firmer than expected.
Size: Queen
This pillow could be a 5 for some people , and it was a 1 for us. Too high for our neck. Side sleepers. It’s probably very good for a back sleeper.

Sleep like in heaven. Every cent worth
Size: Queen
First time a slept on that pillow was on a trip to D. C. and we stayed in a Westin hotel. The best quality of beds, mattress and pillows I ever had!!! On the next morning I told the receptionist how great I slept and they told me, it’s to order. And the funny part is, they called “heavenly”

Gave it 6 month trial before review
Size: Queen
I find it hard to believe these pillows are what is used in the hotels. I like Westin hotel pillows, but they are heavier than this particular pillow. I have used it for 6 months, now it flattens out and just feels like lightweight fluff with no support. It was good for about a month. I try to fluff it up every night to give some lift but I feel this will be thrown away soon. The search goes on.
