Publisher's Synopsis
In their search for a deeper meaning to life and to balance the stress and anxiety of most Western lifestyles, increasing numbers are taking time out to go on a pilgrimage. There are many pilgrim paths to Santiago but there is none more soulful and significant than the Camino Portugués. Equally there is none so intimately connected with the actual life and ministry of St. James, as well as his death and burial. It was here that he first preached Christ's message in Iberia and it was, also, along this route that his body made its last journey to Libredon, later to become known and loved all over the world as Santiago de Compostela. Special features: · Daily stage maps including contour guides · Full information on all pilgrim hostels · Details of alternative accommodation · Numerous colour photographs · Overview route planner · Detailed town plans · Notes to help us prepare for the outer and the inner journey · This is the only bilingual (English-Spanish) guidebook covering the Pilgrimage from Lisbon to Santiago de Composetella · Ease of use with detailed colour maps and clear directions · Format allows the book to be carried in pilgrim's pocket · Detailed information from preparation for the trip to returning home afterwards
