Every year, thousands of people make the pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain, honouring a centuries-old Christian tradition by walking the Way of St James.

Introducing us to the overwhelming natural beauty encountered along the way, Rene Freund shares his experience of reaching his physical and psychological limits during this most arduous of spiritual journeys. As he reaches the edge of the European continent - thought to be the end of the world by pilgrims of former times - he learns that the old pilgrim's saying to true: the journey does not end in Santiago, there it begins.
