3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Actually, the Camino is much easier than most people tell you. Since you already learned and know how to walk, the practice of walling the Camino Frances route is deceptively simple.

To begin, place one foot about 30 inches (80 cm) in front of the other. Repeat this for the other foot. Then simply repeat the cycle 500,000 or so times - that's one million steps - until you reach the Praza do Obradoiro directly in front of the Cathedral at Santiago de Compostela.;)
 
do enjoy your camino. god bless.
