2024 edition: The Brierley Camino Frances Guide
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
yes, though it no longer exists. One version of the story is that it was for pilgrims who misbehaved, another that it was for vagrants pretending to be pilgrims. Why these should have been a particular problem in Triacastela, I don't know ;-)
