Product Description
Product Description
In their search for a deeper meaning to life and to balance the stress and anxiety of most western lifestyles increasing numbers are taking time out to go on a pilgrimage. Many of them choose that most famous pilgrim's route the Camiño de Compostella. In fact the number of pilgrims along this path has increased tenfold over the past decade to an average of 44000 per annum. Shirley Maclean's book describing her own pilgrimage The Camiño contributes to increasing this number every year and the upcoming Holy Year of St. James in 2004 will attract ever more seekers. John Brierley walked the Camiño and was bitten by the bug. Not only has he now walked many of the major paths to Santiago but he has also explored some of the less well known pilgrim's paths still to be discovered by the masses. This book the first of a series of nine is a guide to one of these pilgrimages. The path from Santiago to Finisterre - the end of the World. While this is a path that is being discovered by more and more pilgrims there is a dearth of information published about it. While small and light enough to put in the pilgrim's pocket the book includes: o Detailed easy-to-follow colour maps of the route o Comprehensive town plans o Contour guides o Overview route planner o Many colour photographs o Inspiring descriptions of the author's experiences Here is a book worth reading just for the pure pleasure and delight of it. It will be of invaluable help to the pilgrim and an inspiration for those who only dream of such adventures.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb -- this is all you need!, 19 Jun 2006
By Randall Renter "Randy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino De Fisterra: Santiago De Compostella to Finisterre Including the Muxia Extension - A Practical and Mystical Manual for the Modern Day Pilgrim (Paperback)
I used this book and the similar Camino Portugues book for my pilgrimage in April 2006. They are both superb. I followed Brierley's suggestions pretty much to the letter. The book contains excruciating details as well as a longer and spiritual view.
I think of the book as a personal gift to each of us pilgrims. Brierley obviously loves his work and the Camino. He kept me on track, put me to bed early and awake early when it was important, encouraged me to appreciate the wonderful people and sights along the camino. He offers history lessons, lists of practicalities, maps and directions. This book is all you need!

Full color maps, trail profiles, route descriptions, history, 5 July 2003
By Timecheck "backpack45.com - Camino Chronicle... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino De Fisterra: Santiago De Compostella to Finisterre Including the Muxia Extension - A Practical and Mystical Manual for the Modern Day Pilgrim (Paperback)
Same format as the Camino Frances guide - laid out in three stages. One stage per day, one map per stage total of 95 pages. In addition to covering the route, it has a section of practical information on when to go, covers Galician history and culture. A beautiful full color guide.
