The Best Guide to Santiago,
This review is from: A Pilgrim's Guide to Camino Frances: St.Jean Pied De Port to Santiago De Compostela (Paperback)
I bought this guide with the purpose of doing the pilgrimageto Santiago de Compostela, I was very surprised that not only gave a detail description of the route but also has very good maps of each stage of The Camino and a lot of history that goes along the whole route, so I will recommend it 100% if you are interested in doing the pilgrimage along the "Camino Frances"

a constant companion,

This review is from: A Pilgrim's Guide to Camino Frances: St.Jean Pied De Port to Santiago De Compostela (Paperback)
I've just returned from a month in Spain, following the Camino Frances - I took John Brierley's book with me.
I must say, as a hardened long-distance walker, sitting at home before the Camino I was rather sceptical of the "spiritual journey" theme throughout this book. However, I persevered and found that there was some very practical content - maps, accomodation, history etc. Once I was out there, JB's guide proved a huge asset to me. The suggested routes were excellent, particulary where he recommends a path less travelled. The distances were extremely accurate and I felt that there was an excellent balance of fact, history, and dare I say it, spiritual stuff. There were even blank pages in the book for your own notes - a very thoughtful addition. Yep, there was the odd naff inspirational quote from rather bizarre sources, but they all kind of made sense. I travelled on my own and the book was a constant companion. I wouldn't have been without it and thoroughly recommend it. I bumped into lots of other people along the way using this book and everyone seemed impressed, a couple of people who had alternative books commented that this was far superior to the guide they were carrying. I guess you could just follow your nose and bin all of your guide books, but you would miss a huge amount of history and background, which JB covered in just the right amount of detail for me. A truly excellent work from a clearly dedicated author. For a sceptic like me JB helped turn the Camino from "another long distance walk" to real a journey of discovery. Buen Camino
