Pilgrim'S Guide to the Camino Portugues 8th Edition

The Camino Portugues is part of the ancient pilgrim pathways known and loved collectively as the Caminos de Santiago. Next to useful practical advice and a list of accommodation for each day's stage, historical notes explain the significance of the Portuguese Way in the development of pilgrimage in Europe. This is the first ever guide to this route which is becoming increasingly popular!

Updated to include newer maps and photos and weighing less to support carefree travelling, the latest edition in these comprehensive guidebooks to the Camino de Santiago and its offshoots contains all the information needed by modern-day pilgrims wishing to walk the sacred Way of Saint James. Overview route planners plus all 23 daily stage maps and detailed town plans help sojourners with as much advance preparation as they need. The completely redone maps feature contour guides to help distinguish the terrain that will be crossed each day, while full information on all pilgrim hostels, as well as details for alternative accommodation, allow travellers to plot adequate nightly stopping points. All reference information is accompanied by helpful spiritual guidelines to support the seeker's inner journey as well as the outer pilgrimage. For travellers who wish to walk the coast of Portugal, this volume has been expanded from its previous edition to cover the entire pilgrimage from Lisbon to Porto to Santiago.
