Gérard "du Camino" Rousse - Primitivo Guide - jan 2014

[Anemone del Camino]

I tried to search the forum before posting, to make sure would not be repeating something that has already been said ... This afternoon I came across Gérard Rousse's guide for the Primitivo, and it's only a year old. I clearly am a bit of an addict to all things Camino, since I have never liked his guide for el Camino del Norte, but I still had to buy this one. Will compare it with the info given by Editorial Buen Camino which was also published in 2014.

I wonder if this is the same Gerard who wrote a French language guide for the Camino Levante. I had the Spanish guide written by the Valencia Association, and all I can tell you about the Gerard guide is that my two French pals who had it often took his name in vain and asked me for help.

It is, he wrote the Levante guide in 2011. And these guides always disapoint me, I figure there are arrows to follow, so I don't need a guide that tells me to turn right after the red house and left after the 2nd oak tree, but that tells me about the villages and towns I am walking through, their historical importance, legends, etc. Will report back on this book when I get back from my 365km stroll in June ;0)
