2024 edition: A Camino del Norte Guide from Irun to Santiago (W/FREE Passport)
2024 edition: A Camino del Norte Guide from Irun to Santiago (W/FREE Passport)
Each book ordered will include (at no extra cost):
- 1 "Camino Passport" (from the Cathedral in Santiago)
This is the 2024 edition.
The guidebooks include:
- The same 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 Navigation tips and cautions, historical references, a list of available service (pharmacies, restaurants, atms, that kind of stuff) and dates for local fiestas.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 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.
- Detours and alternative routes: The camino splits in a few places, and when it does an overview is provided to help you visualize the option ahead.

The guide has maps, descriptions of towns and available services and a good introduction to the camino.
The albergue in Astillero is no longer functioning
I had a great experience buying a Camino guidebook at Casa Ivar. Despite being international mail, the package arrived promply and undamaged. I look forward to buying more products and/or using your services while on Camino. Best regards, Ruben
I have had a quiick review of the booklet, and it looks very comprehensive.
Alternative "routes" are usefull and I will certainly take it with me to review daily.. Thank you.
The books arrived SUPER quick from Spain to Aust and seem to be what I was expecting… up to date, current Albergue listings, Distances calculated, most important info contained within. Would perhaps like a little more detailed info on things of interest in the towns.
