Description
This substantially revised edition is a must have for anyone planning their first, or second or third Camino and an invaluable resource for organisations that offer advice and help to pilgrims planning their Caminos. After years of answering frequently asked questions on Camino forums, the Internet, Camino workshops and on her Camino blog (amaWalker.blogspot.com) Sylvia Nilsen, provides the answers to your questions. Besides providing information on the many different Camino routes in Spain and Portugal she offers advice on the best time to go and how to get there, planning daily stages, budgets, accommodation, pilgrim and trail etiquette with chapters on technology, weather, food and language. Many other experienced pilgrims shared their expertise on subjects as diverse as the challenges for disabled pilgrims, cycling, trekking with children, horses, donkeys and dogs. There are chapters on clothing and equipment covering boots, shoes, backpacks and sleeping bags, as well as medical matters, relics, Santiago Holy Years and pilgrim statistics.
Illustrated with delightful pilgrim characters, this reference guide covers everything from learning about the Camino on the Internet to taking a donkey on the trail, and how to ‘go’ in the woods!
You will have the freedom to make the journey your way.
The guide is in black and white in a new compact paperback layout. Also as an personalised interactive pdf Ebook with active links to a myriad of internet resources..
