Once upon a Camino

By: Matthew S. Wilson

Narrated by: Jorge Gonzalez Peña

Tom, a 28-year-old investment banker, lives a successful life in London with his girlfriend, Ana. Intending to propose, he flies to Spain, seeking her family’s blessing. But his plan runs aground when Ana’s grandfather, Tito, insists the union cannot proceed until Tom walks the Camino de Santiago, an 800-kilometre pilgrimage across Spain.

‘A man would walk across a country without hesitation for the love of his life, no?’

Upon commencing the Camino, Tom’s plans further unravel – his backpack mysteriously disappears, and his phone loses its signal. And when all the other hikers seemingly vanish, Tom makes a discovery that changes everything. Suddenly pursued by the authorities, Tom’s only path home to Ana is alongside a motley band of pilgrims bound for Santiago – among them a reclusive fisherman named Fernando, who carries his own dark secret.

Love. Adventure. Time Travel. Once Upon a Camino is a story of friendship, redemption and untrodden paths, reminding us to follow our hearts over life's next hill. It’s written for those who’ve walked the path to Santiago and others who simply enjoy life’s unpredictable journey and the strangers we meet along the way.

Everything was amazing

Just finished the Camino and this was a great story. It’s Outlander on the Camino and a history listen to boot! Laugh cry and enjoy! The Camino never ends!

Fantastic narrator

A delightful journey along the Camino with some history thrown in and characters that became friends. Really enjoyed this.

Best Book This Year

This book had it all! I loved every word of it. Great characters, story line and narrator. This is a book I will read again!

Wonderful twist on traditional Camino

Great story…keeps you guessing with each new chapter! Blends history and tradition of the Camino into a super exciting fictional story. Loved it!

Fictional and Fun

While this story is fictional, the author does a nice job of articulating the Camino path while telling the story from two different eras.
