    Best Guide Books

    There is actually another Davies/Cole guide to the Camino Frances, and it has already gone into the second edition ("Walking the Camino de Santiago", ISBN 0-9731698-2-6, can be purchased directly from the publisher at http://www.pilipalapress.com.)

    Trip timing and will I find beds in July and August?

    Monica, Unfortunately, July and August are the worst months to do your Camino due to large crowds of vacationing Europeans and hot weather. Camping with a tent is never quite easy in Spain, either. And only one month to go from SJPP to Finisterre, that's very ambitious! I live in North...

    Guide to holy relics on the Camino Frances

    I just received a borrowed copy of "The Pilgrim's Guide to Santiago de Compostela: The Gazetteer" by Annie Shaver-Crendell and Paula Gerson and it is a bit of a disappointment (I am still grateful for your reference to it, Sil, but I thought I should register my observations here as this threat...

    Valencia to Santiago

    It is possible; the Camino de Levante is very long (c. 1400 km) and without any significant refugio infrastructure. As far as I know it is done almost exclusively by the cyclists (known uncharitably as "decaffeinated pilgrims") :wink: Also, as the Confraternity's description points out, it is...

    THE Way of St JAMES ''is not a path of roses''

    Hola Jose, Many thanks for your reply. I will contact you soon. As for Felisa's daughter, I have also met her in May 2003. She was still using her mother's sello with the motto quoted by you. I remember that the Confraternity's guide for that year muttered darkly about "overpriced drinks" she...

    Valencia to Santiago

    My greetings to another dreamer !(I'm thinking about doing the same as you can see from my previous posting in this section.) The Valencia association has published in 2004 a second, updated edition of the guide to Cami de Llevant which you can purchase through their website...

    THE Way of St JAMES ''is not a path of roses''

    Dear Jose, This is a beautiful production, will it be possible to buy it on video and/or DVD? While watching the clip I felt sorry for the young ladies who had to stop walking the Camino due to the problems with their feet. A preventive measure that worked for me is to rub the soles with...

    Guide to holy relics on the Camino Frances

    This is a good idea, thank you. Mrs. Linda Davidson is a scholar and a lady, and I am indebted to her for her previous help.

    Walking the Camino de Levant

    I wonder if any of the forum members has walked the Camino de Levant, whole or in part? If so, I would like to get in touch with him/her/them.

    Guide to holy relics on the Camino Frances

    Re: Holy relics A more practical solution is to knock at the door of the house nearest to the church in question and ask who has the key. It is less time consuming than waiting for a fiesta, although one cannot do this and still follow the usual (and regrettable) race to the next refugio...

    Guide to holy relics on the Camino Frances

    Holy relics Dear Sil and Peter, Thank you very much for your interesting and useful suggestions. I will certainly try to get these publications. In my original posting, by "holy relics" I meant exactly that, i.e., body parts of saints which, in accordance with the practice of the Roman...

    Guide to holy relics on the Camino Frances

    Hello, I am looking for a guide to the holy relics in the churches along the Camino Frances, or generally in Northern Spain. It can be in Spanish, French, Italian, or German (and, of course, in English.) Thank you kindly for your help, every little bit counts :D
