Beebe Bahrami

About the Author

For over three decades Colorado native, writer, anthropologist, and pilgrim Beebe Bahrami has explored, visited, researched, written about, and lived on numerous routes of the Camino de Santiago in France, Spain, and Portugal, logging well over 10,000 miles, and counting. As a researcher and writer, she discovered long ago that exploring a place at the pace of feet was one of the best tools for uncovering the deeper stories therein, slowing down to talk to locals working the land, to climb to an archaeological site just around the bend, to witness timid wildlife, to sit and listen to villagers share life stories, to discover a remote chapel carved with local extra-religious folkloric images, and to fold into the local cadences of life and land. She has survived pigeon, boar, and rabbit hunting season in the Pyrenees, detoured with sheepherders in Rioja, attended sung prayer for a week with monks in León, tracked down petroglyphs, dolmens, and Iron Age castro sites from Navarra to Galicia, and throughout explored the Caminos deepest layers, from prehistory (including Neandertals!) to the Middle Ages to the present.
 
Many of Beebe’s books, article, and essays center on the Camino de Santiago and the legacy, cultures, and lands through which it threads, such as her literary travel memoirs, The Way of the Wild Goose, Café Oc, and Café Neandertal, and this comprehensive guidebook, Moon Camino de Santiago. Her writing also appears in BBC Travel, Wine Enthusiast, Archaeology, the Pennsylvania Gazette, Perceptive Travel, Michelin Green Guides, National Geographic books, and The Bark, among other publications.
