One of the medieval characteristics of Middle Age Christians is their willingness to visit the Holy places of their religion, may these be in Jerusalem, Santiago de Compostela or in less known places. There were written route guides and some assistance was provided to pilgrims. Several journey reports were left by these pilgrims.
Uma das características medievais dos Cristãos da Idade Média reside na vontade de visitar os lugares Santos da sua religião, fossem em Jerusalém, em Santiago de Compostela ou noutro local menos conhecido. Escreveram guias sobre o percurso, havia alguma assistência aos peregrinos e vários deixaram relatos.
