Ooops, used Kelly's and it had all I needed. Will go change Kennedyfor Kelly. My only recommendation would be scrapping or changing the maps, because as they are they really are not useful, but as they are also not needed...I and other pilgrims who used Gerald Kelly’s book thought it left a lot to be desired. A previous post mentioned Kennedy’s – haven’t heard of it – hopefully it’s good. If you read German, the German guidebook was great (especially compared to Kelly). I don’t mean to knock his book too much. If it weren’t for an English guidebook, I would not have been able to walk the VdlP.

I'm considering the VDLP in 2018. Can anyone recommend a guidebook and any advice as a result of hindsight? Also, Seville or Granada as the start point - any preferences? Thx
And then, of course, there is a pdf file with a description of the VdlP, made by S. Yates! Downloadable from this site. I used nothing on paper at all. The VdlP is not so hard to find--if you use the kml files with maps.meQuite the opposite experience here, I found Gerald's guide far better (and far more up to date) than the German one (and yes, I do read German, it is my mother tongue).
Buen Camino, SY

I hope you do, but I would never try to talk someone into it! It is what it is - you might love it, you might still hate it, next time.I think I will go back as it feels like unfinished business and Seville is always worth another visit or ten!
