I just returned last night from VdlP and used Gerald Kelly's guide - loved the maps! It can be purchased at Ivar's bookshop and is available as an app. Another American pilgrim used Kelly's app. As for my fellow pilgrims who were Germans, some used the red, other the yellow. I heard no...
My fave Camino books are:
1. "To the Field of Stars" by Kevin A. Codd
2. "The Great Westward Walk" by Antxon Gonzalez Gabarain and translated by Rebekah Scott,
and I have read a lot of them. I also write reviews of Camino books on my website. May I recommend my own book, "Spiritual & Walking...
The 2018 Confraternity of St James Camino Primitivo Guide book will be out soon. You'll be able to download the e-book or buy the paper version at their website or on Amazon. I was proud to be part of the revision team - we added the history and culture that is so significant to the Primitivo...
I see "Brierly sightings" posted on Facebook complete with selfies taken of the poster with the author. So, yes, I believe he is still walking the Camino.

I bought the Camino Primitivo WisePilgrim app for my phone. I may use it while walking the CP next week...if it transfers to my phone after I change SIM card. It has a few more places to stay than does the Confraternity of St James CP guide which I will be updating and editing as I walk.
My fave Camino book is 500 Miles with Jesus by Dave Pivonka and I always recommend it to new pilgrims. You could check out my book, a daily devotional for pilgrims looking for a deeper "Inner Journey." "Spiritual and Walking Guide" is available on Ivar's website at the "Book Store". Please let...
