Archaeologists in the 1800's came upon this diary written by Egeria around 417ad. Archaeologists are certain that the work was not written earlier than 394 or later than 448 based on places visited in the Pilgrimage and other evidence from the writings.

Hi Sil,
In Pilgrimage to Heresy, I suggest that Egeria may have been Agape the noblewoman who brings the "secret gospel" to Priscillian. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence that they may have known one another and the connection, though fictional, is a possibility, especially given Egeria's Gallego links and personal views which appear to be quite Priscillianist. Egeria's travels is fascinating reading, even today. What a remarkable woman!

It may have been Shirley MacLaine who discovered, after she discovered the Lemurians, that centuries ago the snails had their own camino. They only traveled to Santiago from about 1 km out, but it still took them several months. A group of snails was set upon by a group of turtle bandits. The turtles beat the snails and stole their equipment.

The snails moved as quickly as they could to report the assault to the Guardia Civil. When the policemen asked the snails for a description of the bandits, they replied, "We really cannot say. It all happened so fast."
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
