5.0 out of 5 starsThe best format and content of the Caminos.
19 September 2016
This is all researched, and thoughtfully presented. I have to compare it with a well known authors work on the Camino Francés, Portuguese and Finisterre. I have walked all of these, and frankly, I found it so useless in terms of stage length and accommodation advice that I ditched the CP guide somewhere near Tomar.
This guide however is presented in a simple, factual way. Practical information is given throughout and the guide gives map which are to scale (note - I think the maps side of things could be improved, but it is adequate and scaleable, unlike others).
I shall definitely be planning next year's VdlP based on Mr Kelly's excellent guidebook.

3.0 out of 5 starsJust OK
26 May 2017
Firstly, well done to Mr Kelly for writing this guide which is a useful backup to more reliable sources. However, having recently complete the VdlP / Sanabres I found it thin on context (one gets no feeling for the history and events along the route), a few of the directions are wrong or absent (e.g. Cea) and many are vague. Many of the hostel / restaurant recommendations are either wrong or out of date and there's no information on accommodation other than albergues. It's overly negative / pessimistic about the effects of rain on the route. I suggest pilgrims rely on the free App for the route and blogs (and only use this book as backup). I met lots of English speakers on the route and think there's a market for a well-researched Brierley style book.

2.0 out of 5 starsgreat camino - average book
26 September 2018
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
I loved walking the silver road from Seville to Santiago.
But this book wasn't updated everywhere so I used a mix of the internet, online maps, apps and asking the locals to make sure I had updated informations on there to sleep and where to find water.

Best available book. Latest edition 2016. We are taking it on our walk and used it as a basis for our research. As this walk is less travelled we will send the author useful information to assist in keeping this valuable tool up to date.

Excellent guide and summary for the Via de la Plata.

The booklet is succinct but has the necessary information. It is readable and enjoyable and I am confident it will get me from Seville to Santiago de Compostela in October this year. My compliments to the author.
