Pambuyo pake, Paulo adasankhenso kusintha zinthu ndikupita ulendo. Pamene ali ku Amsterdam, ndiye mwangozi, akugwera mu dongosolo la Katolika, lomwe lakhalapo kuyambira 1492. Ndili mu dongosolo ili Coelho ayamba kuganiza za zomwe amalemba nthawi zonse m'mabuku ake - zokhudzana ndi zizindikiro ndi zizindikiro. Malingana ndi mwambowu, womwe umapezeka mu Order, Paulo akupita ulendo. Akuyenera kuyenda paulendo, mtunda wa makilomita makumi asanu ndi atatu, ndikupita ku Santiago de Compostella. Ulendo umenewu unalembedwa m'buku lake loyamba, lomwe limatchedwa "Pilgrimage". Posakhalitsa, kapena mu chaka, dziko linapeza buku lapadera komanso lapadera la Coelho - "Alchemist". Bukhu ili linali lopanda pake, lomwe latchulidwa ngakhale mu Guinness Book of Records.
