El Camino Loco

Flounder O’Toole is on a treadmill to nowhere. But after one spectacularly bad night, a famous former classmate offers him and his buddies an unlikely opportunity: backpack across Spain, on camera, for a shot at a million bucks.

Bella Ventura’s chosen trail is the Camino de Santiago, the ancient pilgrimage path famous for scenic landscapes, historic villages, and mystical lore. Whoever completes the 500-mile hike within thirty-three days will share the cash prize.

To the clueless crew, it sounds like easy money. But Bella has also devised a list of Camino Commandments that will make blisters the least of their problems.

Step-by-step through the beautiful Spanish countryside, secrets surface, suspicions deepen, and Bella’s demands evolve from difficult to dangerous to deadly.

What has changed the old friend they thought they knew? Is Bella seeking ratings, relationships, or revenge?

An amusing tall tale of failure and forgiveness, of losing and finding your way, El Camino Loco is a humorous and heartfelt modern-day pilgrimage, inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy, where even the worst detours can lead to the life we love.
