«El camino» is the novel by Miguel Delibes, published by Austral in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
Daniel, an eleven-year-old boy nicknamed the Mochuelo, spends the eve of his departure to the city to study reviewing his life in the village, his friends Roque el Moñigo and Germán el Tiñoso, and the rural world he is about to leave.

Work originally published in 1950; this Austral edition (2018) is part of the Contemporánea collection and includes a prologue by Marisa Sotelo.
