New Primitivo Guidebook...

[grayland]

Wise Pilgrim has just announced that the new Primitivo Guidebook will be available this week.
I have not seen a copy yet so am not able to offer a review...but his previous guides have been very popular.

Ivar will have it for sale in the Forum Store..Casa Ivar..if anyone is researching an upcoming Primitivo adventure.

It is up on the shop already, as Ivar is quicky quick. It ships the first week of March or sooner.

I remember some rumblings that you might add the Salvador to the guide, what did you do in the end?

 

[wisepilgrim]

In the end I didn't manage to put the two together. Doing so would have taken more time than I had and I wanted to be sure that the Primitivo got done in time for people to prepare. The Salvador is still on my list though.

Well, I'm hoping to walk from León to Grado in late August, where I will be hospitalera in the albergue for a couple of weeks. Have you walked the Salvador? Want to think about it?

Will there be an e-version?

I have walked the Salvador and loved it. Had some snow at the pass but otherwise incredible walking weather. Nice and alone most of the time. I would love to do it again. Once I've got the March updates out the door I'll look at what I have for the Salvador and do some calculating.

Yes there will be.

It will also be available in the first week of March for kindle readers.

When?

My guess is the first week of March.

How different is this from the Wise Pilgrim app I bought two weeks ago on the Camino Primitivo?

Well currently the app is being rewritten. It is easier to do that in book form and then apply the new content to the app rather than the other way around. Once all of the changes and new content has been finalized (this week) I will turn my focus to updating the app. The plan is for the app and the book to have the same content during the first week of March.

One other difference of course is that the book is a book and it allows for more analog stuff like static maps which some people prefer over online maps for the sake of planning.

Michael...will the updating of the app mean that anyone who has already purchased it will have access to the updated information automatically?

That is fantastic news. Thank you for the updated version.

Yep. Always and forever!

I probably don’t have time to order from the states - I arrive in Oviedo 4/27. Is there a way to have it shipped to the place I’m staying by the airport if ordered this week?

It's a small, slim guide which is great for carrying.

I had mine delivered to home here in Spain and I don't think it took long to arrive.
