Abstract: | The work is framed within the geographical rethinking of spatiality within narrative theories, in relation to geohumanities interest in creative writing. The main aim of the research is to experiment with a new geo-cultural approach to investigate pilgrims' cultural narratives from the book Camino Voices by Iain Dryden (2015), an original collection of pilgrims’ comments which are accompanied by a series of drawings by the author. Through a qualitative methodology based on the human senses as the interpretative criteria, I suggest an approximation to sensuous research in the social sciences in order to reflect upon the multisensory experience of the Camino. As a result, I discuss and propose a set of sensescapes that conduce to the conceptualisation of a sensuous Camino geography, by which I mean a new cultural interpretation of the emotions, feelings and sensations produced throughout the experience of the Camino. |
