To celebrate her entry into "jubilation," Joëlle Cuvilliez set out on foot and in reverse on the road to Santiago. As the great traveler Bernard Ollivier, author of The Long Walk, points out in his preface to the book, "even if it means getting lost often, and she does not hold back, she goes in the wrong direction of the arrows; instead of going to Compostela, she turns her back on it and heads off towards the south of Portugal. This has a drawback; she often gets lost, but it is to better find herself." During this 630 km solo hike, she savored the complicity of silence, the intensity of fleeting encounters, the constantly changing beauty of the world and gleaned over the days, without ever tiring of it, a harvest of extraordinary coincidences.
