The PILNAR project was set up in order to prepare large sets of pilgrim narratives for analysis and interpretation. The narratives that pilgrims create on the Camino de Santiago give us a good insight in the dynamics of a changing ritual in a late-modern and super diverse society. In this project, specialists from different backgrounds contributed to create a database that brings together narratives from a variety of different online and offline platforms. This chapter presents a retrospective on the process that led to the PILNAR database and the accompanying mobile application, and sketches possible directions in which the project could develop in the future.
