This paper addresses Anselm Adornes' journey to Jerusalem in 1470-71 from Bruges, as an opportunity to engage with a multisensory natural, urban, and human landscape. It presents space as relational and based on an individual's perceptions, and in a way that is not dissimilar to a modern travellers' experiences. Reality is not objective, but filtered through the traveller's beliefs and expectations: the Itinerary itself - the travel account detailing Anselm Adornes' journey - does not recount spatial experiences objectively, but as individual and relational also. This paper - based on scholarly research and sound sources - is nevertheless outlined in a humorous and entertaining way, meant for delivery during a convivial occasion.
