Kurzbeschreibung
With over 1000 years of history, the Way of Saint James is one of the classic long distance walks. This historical route along almost 1000 kilometres from the Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela offers unique cultural, scenic and nature experiences. Since the most recent Holy Year of 2004 the Way of Saint James has gained even more in popularity and attracts more and more people from very different backgrounds, faiths and generations. It does not matter what the reason might be for setting out on the path to Santiago de Compostela in the end you are confident that you have had a quite special experience. The Rother walking guide has been so popular in such a short space of time that this new second edition has been prepared after only one year. In a total of 41 stages the whole of the Camino francés is described from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port via Roncesvalles, as well as the Aragon route from the Somport pass via Jaca to Santiago de Compostela, including possible secondary routes and the extension to Finisterre or Muxía. Thus the Way of Saint James leads through a wealth of diverse landscapes, continuously interrupted by culturally and historically interesting places like Roncesvalles, Pamplona, Puente la Reina, San Juan de Ortega, Burgos or Leon, to name but a few. The natural experience dominates at first with the Pyrenean mountains, then the Rioja region characterised by vineyards, followed by the endless barren wastes of the Castillian plateau. But finally, it is the greenery of Galicia that rewards you for all your efforts and deprivations of the long journey, before you reach the climactic destination of Santiago de Compostela. If you still have time, then continuing to the coast, to Finisterre and Muxía, is highly recommended. Detailed maps, precise descriptions of the individual stages including easy-to-read height profiles, as well as comprehensive details of the infrastructure along the way such as medical services, shopping opportunities or banks, make your planning of the walk easier, especially for deviations from the stages described in this guide. Detailed information is also given about the location and standard of accommodation in the pilgrom hostels along the way, graded accordingly with one to three pilgrim shells. General tips on planning the route and equipment at the start of the book make this walking guide into a compact and practical guide. Special mention is also made of historical and scenic delights, as well as regional peculiarities, local fiestas and culinary specialities. A selection of representative photos provide insights into the diversity of landscape and cultural experienced along the Way of Saint James.

The most informative of the three available English language guides
12. Februar 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
This dense little (4.5 by 6.5 inch) 2007 guide is packed with information. It is in color, made of what seems to be weather resistant material, and weighs about 8 ounces. It has strip maps of the trail, street maps of the larger towns, and a lot of well done history and route description. Trip preparation and accommodation information is also included. The type font is on the small size, but that allows them to squeeze in more words.
This is one in the series of Rother Walking Guides - it looks like they have about 25 or 30 guides world wide, so obviously a professional publication. Published in Germany, this English language edition is a translation.
The only reason I didn't give this five stars is personal bias. In the other two guides, Walking the Camino De Santiago and A Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino de Santiago: The Way of St. James (Camino Guides), it is obvious that the authors love walking the Camino, and I share that feeling. It doesn't come through in this guide, probably because of the translation. In terms of content, it contains more information than either of the two above.
It took about six weeks from the time I ordered it on Amazon (USA) until it arrived at my home in California. With any of these guidebooks, accommodations are only accurate as of publication date.
