It doesn't take much to be happy...

Markus Frank describes in his first book the experiences he made on his two Ways of St. James in the years 2018 and 2019. In 2018 he started in Lisbon and went on the central path (Caminho Central) up to Santiago de Compostela. The following year he went from Porto along the coastline upto Redondela (Caminho da Costa), where he returned to the Caminho Central again. He describes essential parts of two different variants of the portuguese Caminho de Santiago. This book is not a travel guide. It's a dedication to the people which fullfill the Caminho with happiness, lightheartedness, freedom and a little bit of adventure.

Markus Frank was born in 1969 in Germany. He lives in a small town in the area of Giessen, 60 kilometers north to Frankfurt. He is married with a wife from Portugal, has an grown-up son and works in the insurance business. 2018 he made his first Caminho and as he got addicted to it the second followed in 2019. In 2020 another Caminho was planned, but because of Covid 19, he paused and wrote his first book about two different variants of the portuguese Caminho, which was translated by himself in english in 2021. For 2022 the Caminho Interior which leads from Porto via Guimaraes and Braga to Santiago de Compostela is planned.
