This is the 2024 edition of this book. Now shipping.
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City by city information: Navigation tips and cautions, historical references, a list of available service (pharmacies, restaurants, atms, that kind of stuff) and dates for local fiestas.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.

Great
Thank you
Last week we walked from Baiona to Santiago de Compostela through a rather rainy week, throughout this guide was in my pocket and was regularly consulted to follow our progress from village to village. It's maps and information were very helpful and it is extremely good value for money.
Book is fine, what I expected. But, what I didn’t expect was that it appeared to have been wet, and probably dried, before shipping, as the envelope appeared untouched. It was offered at a “reduced “ price, but if that was due to water damage it would have been nice to be
advised of such.
I had a great experience ordering from the Camino Forum store. Items came pretty quickly even with shipment to the US. We are pleased with the map and guides for our planning for our pilgrimage.
Not what I was expecting. Much of the contents is not relevant for our planned route. Find it hard to follow.
