Michelin Guide Camino

[petro]

Hi, I am trying to find out what the latest edition of the Michelin Guide Camino is and where can I buy it? The one on Amazon is the 2010 edition - is there a later one?

you can find them in bookstores all over Spain, updated every other year. They are very popular here. Try Amazon.es.

That edition is the latest.

I purchased a 2012 edition of the Michelin Guide from Amazon last year, but like the Brierley Guides, I don't expect there have been many updates included since either of them were first published.

There is a 2012 for the Le Puy route, but I don't think there is one for the Camino Frances. Neither Michelin nor amazon.fr show a later edition.

Okay, maybe my copy is a purloined edition but the on the back page of the book there is:
Edicion 2012 por Michelin Partners
(c)2012 Michelin, Proprietaires-editeurs
Societe par action simplifee au capital de 11 629 500 EUR
27 Cours de I'ile Sequin - 9210 Boulougne-Billancourt (France)
R.C.S. Nantes 433 677 721
(c) 2012 Michelin, Proprietaires-Editeurs

possibly this edition was published in Spain?

I thought I had seen a new edition someplace! Some issues with the maps round Logroño, if I recall correctly...

 

[petro]

Thanks I will look for one when I am in Spain - seems easier!

I bought mine in SJPDP Sept 2012... Easy to find and plenty of em. I don't remember what year it was published but it was accurate enough and if I had questions about albergues I just asked other pilgrims (there are plenty of those too) or hospitaleros if they often know up to date beta.

The one I purchased from Amazon in December was the same 2012 one as Biarritzdon above.

Have you checked out Brieley's book .... I think it is very good and written by a pilgrim of many years standing.

 

[petro]

Yes, I have used Brierley's book on my previous camino's and it is good. I just thought I'll try something lighter this time!

 

[CISSA69]

You could take the Brierley book of maps which is half the size of the book or you could bring just the double sided A4 page of maps and accommodation as issued by the Pilgrim office in St Jean Pied De Porte .......

I have ordered the Brierly maps and will probably take them, should be fine!
