    Fiction to read while on the Camino?

    I also just found “Candyfloss Guitar” (Book 1 of the series) on Apple Books. It’s a quick read and very enjoyable. And thanks for reading 🤗 I hope the internet is back up and running!

    Seeking books/articles for someone who hasn't heard of the camino

    I agree with several who have suggested watching The Way, which is an excellent introduction. I've also recently read 'Spanish Steps' by Tim Moore, which is entertaining and offers a fair amount of the Camino's history throughout. You can get a feel of it from the following article...

    My book - "On My Way"

    Always lovely to see a fellow Aussie pilgrim/writer. Congratulations on the release of your book - the front cover and first chapter are fantastic. Looking forward to reading the rest. Wishing you lots of success with it 🙌

    A Food Lover's Pilgrimage to Santiago De Compostela

    Yes, I think Amazon sometimes does that when a book is out of print. One to keep an eye out for though.

    A Food Lover's Pilgrimage to Santiago De Compostela

    One of the perks of spending a decade writing a novel about the Camino is that every birthday I get at least one Camino-related book. While I'm still working my way through the pile, Dee Nolan's "A Food Lover's Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela" is among my favourites. Every page is gorgeous...

    The enduring legacy of the movie ‘The Way’ (and a new book by Jen Hutchison)

    Thanks for the book recommendation, Jenny. Motherling sounds incredibly moving, I've just ordered it. Very sad to hear of its author's recent passing - Jen Hutchison was from Melbourne too. As for the film The Way, I agree its legacy is profound. I still recall walking the Camino Frances in...

    Which guide would you carry

    Thank you! No options yet, but that would be incredible. You’re actually the first person I’ve talked to who has read the book while walking the Camino. Independent writers are always looking for little wins and milestones - so learning you read this on the CP has honestly made my day. I’m...

    Which guide would you carry

    I didn't take one when I walked the Camino Frances but as I was researching my book I referred to Brierley's book often. The maps and detail are good and I also liked how it reminded me of some of the climbs and descents. It's shape seem like it would also fit nicely into one of the thigh...

    Reviews of Four Camino-Related Books

    One Camino book which I really enjoyed was 'Two Steps Forward' by Anne Buist and Graeme Simsion. I think what I enjoyed was the alternating perspectives of the two protagonists, each walking to Santiago for their own purposes. That's what my own Camino felt like; people from different parts of...
