Welcome to El Camino that leads from the foothills of the Pyrenees in France to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia – a distance of 791 km (490 miles). During the past ten years the Camino has witnessed an amazing revival to regain its place as the most popular Christian pilgrim route in the world – but this is no modern fad for this ancient path has been transforming lives for more than ten centuries. In recognition of, “The testimony to the power of faith and the 1,800 buildings of great historic interest that lie along its path” it was proclaimed the first European Cultural Itinerary in 1987 and inscribed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993.
288 pages paperback in full colour including:
- Overview route planner
- 33 daily stage maps showing optional routes
- 33 Contour guides List of pilgrim hostels and alternative accommodation
- 14 Town plans
- Practical notes on preparation including Equipment and clothing checklist Dictionary with basic pilgrim phrases
- Historical notes and places of special interest.
In addition to the physical route there are pointers to:
- the Mystical path with Inspirational quotations space for Personal reflections
- and a Self-assessment questionnaire to help prepare for the inner journey.
All this designed to fit easily into your pocket. The guide is now smaller than previous editions and designed to fit easily into your pocket measuring only 12cm x 19cm and weighing a mere 287 grams.
First published as A Pilgrim's Guide to Camino de Santiago in 2003 these popular guides are regularly updated.
Walked by millions over the millennia the Camino de Santiago represents a major force for spiritual renewal and transformation. In the spaciousness of the Landscape Temple we walk through we become open and receptive to the wisdom that is in us and around us. When we step beyond the habitual judgments and expectations that confine us, we become ready to expand, to change and to grow. With an appreciation for what the path shows us, the growing becomes joyful adventure.
There are thousands of long distance pathways we can walk but only the Camino has achieved world recognition for its historical and spiritual significance and, inevitably, such accolades bring greater numbers wishing to experience its healing potential. Although numbers have increased tenfold during the past ten years, this is still less than half the estimated pilgrims that walked the Camino each year during the medieval period. Perhaps now is your time?

Great guide to Camino Frances
Bought this to replace my 2017 version of the book since I am now actually on my way there. Starting in SJPdP on 28/7/22.

Good service.
The whole experience was good. Quick reply to an email query and the parcel was dispatched immediately.

Purchase
I received the guidebook and passport quickly, considering it was sent to the US from Europe. As expected, perfect condition.

Great guide book!
I bought the exact same guide book in 2018 when I walked Camino the first time. Loved the format. I bought it again for a friend that is going with me this Fall.

Excellent book but not updated from 2019
I bought this edition thinking it would have updated information since the pandemic. If you have the 2019 version you will be fine.

Informative
Made for a good history primer and provided quick access to phone numbers to several refugios and pensios

Great service for the other side of the world
Whilst I haven't used the guide yet, I was surprised to get the guide weeks ahead of when I though I was going to get it. Postage from Spain to Australia was faster than I expected.

Love it!
I always get a new guide for each Camino. This will be perfect for Camino 2022.

Brearley 2022
Delighted to receive the updated 2022 edition for Camino Frances. My fifth Brearley Guide and as usual full of useful information

Quick delivery
All good! Happy with everything!

As good as it could have been
I use a lot of online services but don't shop so much for goods. Several clicks later my guide was en route. Liked the status messages, the 'Stuck in Leipzig' freaked me out a bit but it got un-stuck pretty quickly. Spain to Canberra in less that 4 days - that's a 5-star performance.

always great service!
Thanks, Ivar for sending the latest edition of the Brierly guide. You sent it quickly and I appreciate the free passport. We look forward to our Camino in Aug/Sept. and will stop by to see you in Santiago.

Prompt, efficient service.
Items arrived within a matter of days, as ordered. Very good Thankyou.

Feels good to buy from Ivar
I’ve relied on the forum for years. Let’s support the one who supports us.

Insightful book
The ordered book arrived a little over a month after initial order here in California but I have no complaints knowing how things are with covid restrictions and everything else happening in the world. We hope to be able to do our Camino Frances in mid Sept. 2022. Thank you for keeping your store open and helping with the pilgrims.

Comprehensive guide
Looks like it's all you need for Camino Frances except i just realized that the font is too small for me.. I will still carry it... just need a glasses from now on

Updated 2022 Edition Needed for 2022 El Camino Trip Booked
