Camino Forum Store Special!

Each book ordered will include (at no extra cost):

- 1 "Camino Passport" (from the Cathedral in Santiago) 

This is the 2024 edition. 

Comprehensive accommodation directory: Hundreds of properties, including all albergues, hotels, paradors, casa rurales, pensions, and camp sites.
For albergues you will know: how many beds (including private rooms) the albergue has and how much they cost, phone number, months (and hours) open, and whether the albergue accepts non-pilgrims or reservations.
You will also know whether they have a bar/restaurant, a kitchen for your use, whether they serve a group dinner, have vegetarian options, wifi, laundry facilities, or bicycle storage.

City by city information: Navigation tips and cautions, historical references, a list of available service (pharmacies, restaurants, atms, that kind of stuff) and dates for local fiestas.

Large Scale Planning Maps: Large Scale Maps with no pre-determined stages. These maps are at the start of the book and are the best reference for anyone wanting to plan ahead without having to flip through the book.

Elevation Profile: The elevation profile sits alongside the large scale maps, giving you a better overview of the terrain ahead.

City Maps: Lots and lots of city maps. From the small villages to the regional capitals, if there is more than one option for accommodation a map is included to help you find it. These maps are inline with the guide and also show the nearest grocery, albergue, pharmacy, atm, and other bits.

    A very compact yet informative guidebook of the Camino Primitivo

    Not for me

    I was very excited to get these ( I purchased the Primitivo guide & VdP) but I will probably resell them. If you're looking for something very basic they'll probably be fine for you. They are small and lightweight, so they won't take up a lot of space in your pack. I’m finding the maps confusing, it seems like at least a couple of pages are cut off at the bottom, at least one symbol is not explained, and the cover is coming off after just looking through it. I do have a couple of Wise Pilgrim apps ( Frances & Finisterre) which helped me out in a pinch and were definitely worth it. So if you're interested in these guides you may want to get the apps instead if apps are available.

    Everything I need

    It's a complete and thorough guidebook. I'm excited to use it in late September 2024!
