Hi Andy! There is a bookshop in the ‘main street’ of Santiago, where the old pilgrim office used to be, on the right handside. I bought the guide to the camino inglés there last Summer. (Sorry, the name escapes me, maybe someone else remembers...)So, I'm sat here, a day or so from Santiago and then I still have a few spare days before I have to fly back to blighty... The question is..
Do I do Santiago-Finisterra or do I do the Camino Inglés?
And whatever I decide where can I buy the wise pilgrim guide book (if there is one) (for the collection) in Santiago
Love and hugs
Andy

Actually I forgot to say, none of the guideboks are a help on the Inglés at the moment as it was changed very recently (just after they were all published).You can just down load the electronic copy of the guide book ... less weight good luck... I agree with doing the ingles. I really need to catch up on your blog. Look forward to reading
Aaah good to know thank you . Not sure if he meant for his collection. I seem to be collecting both electronic and paperActually I forgot to say, none of the guideboks are a help on the Inglés at the moment as it was changed very recently (just after they were all published).
I thought @andywild just wanted it to add to his collection, maybe I misinterpreted.
The yellow arrows on the CI are very clear and there is no need for a guide book - and I say this as someone who ...tends to get lost!
Even though several parts of the Inglés have changed substantially, the Albergue/accommodations info all remains the same as the path ultimately stops in the same villages/towns as always. Just follow the arrows!!the only other thing is the albergue info.
Indeed. My experience too.The yellow arrows on the CI are very clear and there is no need for a guide book - and I say this as someone who ...tends to get lost!
I just finished the Portuguese route and can highly recommend the Spiritual Variante. If you want to stay in the monastery in Armenteira be sure to make reservations well ahead. The only thing I would differently was to take an extra day on this variant in the charming small coastal town of Combarro.Andy, please post the link to your blog again. I do not seem to have it any longer, so had forgotten you were walking the Portuguese. I will be going in April and would love to read your observations and stories along the way...I really enjoyed your account on the Frances!
