ah rebecca - grazie tanto! my heart has been camino-tucked so many times this spring - and at times i am in tender tears just seeing fotos of the camino or hear a reference made by someone.https://www.amazon.com/dp/8461792874/?tag=casaivar02-20
You probably saw ads for "El Gran Caminante" all over Spain if you walked in the last three or four years. The Spanish Camino best-seller is much more than another pilgrim diary -- it's a skillfully written, witty, and sometimes infuriating account of a Basque Spaniard's walk from his home in Zumaia down the Basque Interior Way, and onward from Sto. Domingo to Santiago. The writer was "Bolitx," beloved blogger and online commentator, whose knowledge of camino ephemera and storytelling skill I have not seen anywhere else. This book was his opus -- he died of ALS three days after completing it, at age 41.
I translated the book into English, and it's now available via Amazon and at selected retailers in Spain.
I was just about to place an order for another book, so will add this one. Thanks for posting it.https://www.amazon.com/dp/8461792874/?tag=casaivar02-20

Why can't we get a free sample of this book from Amazon? This is the first time such an offer isn't available, as far as I can remember. I always like to try a few pages before I actually buy a book.
Thanks, Rebekah, I just ordered the Kindle version and look forward to reading it.https://www.amazon.com/dp/8461792874/?tag=casaivar02-20

Also so many Caminos, so little timeSo many books, so little time . . . This is the second book I bought today.
Done.All of you who buy the book from Amazon, please take the time to write a review of it on the Amazon page. It bumps us up on the search-engine listings, and marketing a book like this to English-speakers, based as we are in Spain, is difficult at best. Thanks to you all!
No. That didn't reveal any more options.@C clearly, I had problems on the UK Amazon website with the only non-kindle copy selling at several hundreds of pounds. I then clicked on the author's name and other versions were revealed. Hope this works for you on the Canadian site.
I think I'd rather have the paperback than the Kindle.
I'm trying!you´d better buy the book.

I found the Kindle version on amazon.ca, but it doesn't offer the paperback. On Amazon.com, the paperback is available. Can someone explain? I realize it might relate to shipping to Canada, or publishing rights for sale to Canada, or something like that, but wondered if anyone else can explain. I don't order much on Amazon, so I haven't experience in this.

Thanks! First I'll wait a bit to see if things get sorted out online, but I may take you up on that offer.If all else fails, I can buy it here in SdC (yes, in English) and ship it to you
Thanks! First I'll wait a bit to see if things get sorted out online, but I may take you up on that offer.
Actually, I can do that but it wants me to switch over to amazon.ca and I'm not sure it would work with the address in Canada. I'll wait a bit and see if the paperback becomes available here. Or I'll plan to pick it up in Spain next springEven better idea I can order it on Amazon.com but put your address in as the shipping address, that will work! Buen Camino, SY
Great. I think I will try that!I have ordered before books from Amazon.com and shipped them as a gift to Canada, the trick is not to switch over, but just put in a different shipping address ... BC SY
