70 pages for a mysterious conclusion about the strange disappearance and appearance of the Codex, leaving us to wonder what is on the other side of the road? Templars; Religious Orders; Masonry; Illuminati; Opus Dei; Ínclita Geração de Camões; Hospitallers; Legends; Kings and their reigns and thousands of Pilgrims. All of these and many others enhanced, created and shaped our Camiño and the manuscript that gave rise to this book. So that the reader feels like an active participant in this parallel reality and realizes the secret that the Walls have kept for centuries. This was how the construction of connections between the characters, the chronology of this narrative and the diagram and flowchart of their relationships were dismantled and explained. It will always be a permanent discovery throughout these chapters, because everyone wants to know what exists in The Other Side of the Road. Why did we leave like everyone else and after joining the Trail, we came back different, like castaways rescued from an island. Leading to thinking out loud about I want to go back to the Island.

Legitimizing the question, Who of you wants to go back to Camiño?
