About This Book
The author recounts a devotional pilgrimage to the Holy Land, narrating the journey from Iberian cities through Mediterranean ports to Jerusalem, with stopovers in Venice and Levantine harbors. He combines practical travel notes—routes, lodging, costs—with vivid descriptions of sacred sites such as the Mount of Olives, Bethany, and the place of the Ascension, and records liturgical practices and musical associations tied to these locations. The account aims to guide future pilgrims, offer devotional reflections, and preserve observations on rites, geography, and local customs.
