This program explores the phenomenon of pilgrimage--and, in particular, the medieval pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela in Spain--as a means of understanding medieval Spanish literature and art.  
We spend ten days in Sewanee, two weeks in Madrid and the surrounding area, and three and one-half weeks traversing the north of Spain along the pilgrimage road itself.
