looking for a village by village guide on the Camino Francis

[gypsywind]

Hello, I read in a thread someone commented on a guide book that discusses each village that is passed through. Since I am aware that I will not make most of Brierleys daily goals, I would like to be able to familiarize myself with a lot of the other options. Sorry, I searched for it, but could not find it. A little help please if anyone knows. Thanks!!

If you are simply looking for guide book information (accommodation, services, short notes) then all the guidebooks - and Ivar sells them (see his shop under the forum masthead). If you are looking for richly detailed cultural, historical and sociological information - you need this The Pilgrimage Road to Santiago, The Complete Cultural Handbook by Davidson and Gitlitz. It is heavy to carry but that is overcome by downloading the Kindle addition and having the Kindle app on your smartphone. It means you can stand in front of a church door and understand what you are looking at. Wonderful book.

Thank you so much Kanga, i was hoping to get both sets of info, as I am very interested in the Cultural aspect, as well as where I will sleep at night! Though I am more worried about missing out on the culture and history !! I will get the guide you recommended. I have received a lot of info from you through various posts, and I am thankful to have access to you. Shannon aka Gypsywind !
