This lightweight, minimalist map guide offers all the detailed
maps, accommodations listings, and stage overviews
available in the full Camino Francés Village to Village Guide,
condensed to an ultralight 96 pages. The Camino Francés
begins in picturesque Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France,
crosses the Pyrenees and Basque country and the high
plateau known as the Meseta before entering the misty
mountains of Galicia. This 500-mile journey arrives to the
Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, where the bones of
Saint James are said to reside.
With full-color stage maps and city maps, you?ll always know where you and where
you?re going. Detailed accommodations listings show everything you need to know
about pilgrim hostels (albergues) as well as private accommodations for each
budget. Planning and route tips keep you informed, in a pocket-sized book that
weighs just 100 grams. All the information you need (without any fluff) to walk the
500-mile classic Camino Francés, a pilgrimage experience across northern Spain.
