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 travelers 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 travelers 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.
