I came across Tim Drake's "review" of his Camino in an online newspaper. For those who don't follow Batman, Tim Drake is the third orphan that Bruce Wayne picks up to be his sidekick (after Dick Grayson grows up and Jason Todd gets killed). I'm pretty sure that the author of this article is a different Tim Drake, though. He is clearly a professional writer, as the story is long on words and short on content, but it was still an enjoyable read.
Anyway, the newspaper is the National Catholic Register, so the article is more religious than others. It gives one of the versions of how St. James' relics (i.e. remains) ended up in Compestella. The story seems to be a bit too "legendary" for my tastes, much like the story about the discovery of King Arthur's tomb at Glastonbury. Pope Leo XIII supposedly addressed the issue in the 1884 Papal Bull Omnipotens Deus, but I have not been able to find a translation to see what his justification was.
