The ancient pilgrimage path in Spain to the tomb of St James has undergone a contemporary revival. Embracing spirituality in its widest sense, modern day pilgrims come from across the world to experience the tranquility, camaraderie and scenery that help towards self-discovery, personal healing and a thoroughly memorable experience. The first walking guide in the Pilgrim's Guide Series, this comprehensive aid features 1:50 000 topographical mapping from the National Geographic Institute of Spain for each of the 32 'recommended' stages of the Camino Francés, including its variants, the three stages of the Camino Finisterre, and the two routes to Muxia. Each stage map features a start and finish inset, plus several separate town and city maps. In addition, there is a region map showing the entire route, plus plans of the three major cathedrals.
