LIVE from the Camino Buying a guide for Finisterre and Muxía in StC?

[BeatriceKarjalainen]

If my leg allows me to I want to walk to Finisterre and Muxía and I like to have a guide. Is there a store in StC that sells any in English?

They have one (free I think) at the tourist office in Santiago.... just 40 meters down the street from the pilgrims office. ...another 40-50 meters and you have a book store that should have other guides.

Beatrice,
Wish I had a constructive answer to give you because you deserve one after what you've just done. I'm in awe of how you've done this.

That said, I guess Ivar has answered your question.

Good luck AND Buen Camino.

Thanks for the replies. I realise that I'm soon there and the tears of happiness are so close right now. I will for sure cry from the moment I can see Santiago I guess.

I prefer paper. Not having to rely on a charged phone and i want to be able to make notes.

Go to the Galicia tourist office, down from the Santiago tourist office, they are two separate offices and have the info you're looking for.

Errrr....so download it and print it out!

The Galician Tourist Office at number 32 Rua do Vilar (in the same street as the Pilgrims' Office) will also give you information.

Buen camino

To add to Johnnie's note, there are 2 in Rue Vilar, the first about half way down on the left near the information office, and the second bookshop is on the right almost at the end of Rue Vilar. They both had John Brierley's guide when I was there in June. The second bookshop had many guides to all the Caminos in various languages

I did not plan on doing this walk from Finisterre to Muxia but other Pilgrams said "You "MUST" do this it is magical." They were so right! Go for it... it is about 30k. A different energy on this walk.

I bought a book in the first bookstore. Thanks for your replies.
