Historic information along the Camino Primitivo

[Jgpow]

Does anyone have an English or Spanish guide recommendation for the Camino Primitivo? I want it for historical information on the places and points of interest along the way. Starting in less than two weeks!
Thanks!

If you use the OSMand mapping app you can download maps of the areas you are walking in. But, to address your request, you can also download Wikipedia information and these will show as points of interest (POIs) on the map. So as you walk along and see something interesting you can check OSMand to see where you are and if that thing you are interested in is shown as a POI near you. Then you can read its article. The camino can also be followed at home and you can check out the POIs in advance of your walk.

This reference thread for the Primitivo has a link that searches for the Landmarks tag in the Primitivo forum. While not the guide you are probably looking for, it might help a bit.

I used the Wise Pilgrim guide book.
