[Magdalen] Third holiest Christian pilgrimage site?

[Jay Weigel]

An acquaintance of mine (he drove the delivery truck for our online grocery
for the first year we subscribed) did the Santiago pilgrimage a couple of
years ago. He is neither Catholic nor particularly religious and did it
more as a "spiritual hike" (his words) than anything else, but he said it
was amazing. He has since left the company and embarked on a similar
"spiritual hike", though much longer, of the Appalachian trail, which he
began in March.
