Follow in the footsteps of Celts and Christians on an ancient pilgrimage route across northern Spain. Walking the Camino de Santiago leads you along the camino francés from St-Jean-Pied-de-Port in the foothills of the French Pyrenees to the cathedral city of Santiago de Compostela and on to Finisterre, smoothing your way with step-by-step instructions, detailed sketch maps and profile charts. It lets you into Spain's cultural and culinary secrets, includes a detailed, illustrated wildlife section, and gives you all the practical information you need for a hassle-free pilgrimage. This second edition was entirely re-researched, our authors re-walked the entire route and checked out every albergue along the way. This edition includes new features, such as city maps and an expanded accommodation section, and old favourites such as information on wildlife, food and culture. We've also reduced the weight of the book to make more room in your backpack by printing on thinner recycled paper.
