Pilgrim's Guide to Northern Spain Volume 1
The ancient pilgrimage path in Spain to the tomb of St James has undergone a contemporary revival. Embracing spirituality in its widest sense, modern day pilgrims come from across the world to experience the tranquility, camaraderie and scenery that help towards self-discovery, personal healing and a thoroughly memorable experience. The first walking guide in the Pilgrim’s Guide Series, this comprehensive aid features 1:50 000 topographical mapping from the National Geographic Institute of Spain for each of the 32 ‘recommended’ stages of the Camino Francés, including variants, the three stages to Cape Finisterre, and the two routes to Muxia. Separate town and city maps, a region map showing the entire route, plus plans of the three major cathedrals complete the cartography. Descriptions of the route help the pilgrim to stay on track. Descriptions of the monuments and towns to be seen along the way feature enough depth for the pilgrim to truly sense the history, art and devotion of centuries gone by. Every stage and main city features its own fully up-to-date list of accommodation.
