Portugues (2015)
This is the first full walking guide in the Pilgrim's Guide series, that goes big on cartography, accommodation, and descriptions of the towns, cities and monuments - all in a single robust volume weighing less than 400 grammes.
There are 1: 50 000 topographical maps from the Spanish National Geographic Survey with the official paths and many variants provided by the Federation of Spanish Friends of the Camino. Each of the 32 'recommended' stages of the Camino FrancĂ©s, plus the three stages to Cape Finisterre and the two routes to MuxĂa, feature their own start and finish insets, elevation and distance profile/s, and accommodation pins. There are many town and city plans. Plans of the three principal cathedrals. A historic map showing the spread of the pilgrimage across Europe. A transport map accompanies tips and information on how to start your Camino.
Extensive accommodation listings from Albergues to Pensiones, Hostales, Casas Rurales and hotels in every other class.
In-depth descriptions of the monuments in the cities, towns and villages allow the pilgrim to truly sense the history, art and devotion of centuries gone by. Yes! The main cities where you might spend a little more time (arriving, departing, rest day) are covered in their own chapters. Each stage has its own description, with accommodation and key to facilities.
Equipment and safety advice, how the accommodation and meals are planned, the Credencial and Compostela.
A Glossary completes the practical advice. Yes! There is an Index of places and people.
Your reasons for going on your Camino are down to you, however, there are insights as to why people go and what to expect - physically and emotionally.
The legend of St James with its importance to Spain is explored in its Biblical and historical context. See how the pilgrimage developed following the rediscovery of the tomb. Its significance today to a worldwide group of pilgrims from almost every country and background, all faiths and none.
The guide is on sale over in the Forum Store, on the publisher's website (from where we ship from the UK and USA) and in many retail outlets.
We aim to bring out an eBook in time, but for now, we are concentrating on the print edition.
I welcome any questions or feedback.
