A beautifully illustrated introduction to the Camino de Santiago.

The Camino de Santiago, or the Way of St James, is one of the world's most famous pilgrimage routes, but it's not just one route, it's many. So which one to choose?

Written by travel writers Sarah Baxter, Dayna Camilleri Clarke, and Daniel Stables, who have all undertaken their own pilgrimages along the Way, this inspiring at-home companion describes the eight most popular routes, helping you understand, choose, and plan your Camino before you ever set foot on the trail.

Inside the book you'll find:
- Chapters on each of the eight most popular routes, helping you decide which path is right for you
- Vivid storytelling that brings the Camino's landscapes, towns, and cultural landmarks to life
- Stage-by-stage guidance to help you understand distances, terrain, and pacing
- Practical advice on food, accommodation, and daily life on the Camino
- Detailed maps, atmospheric photography, and beautiful original illustrations
- History and cultural context, tracing the Camino as a religious pilgrimage, cultural journey, or personal retreat

The routes featured:
- Camino Franc's
- Camino Portugu's
- Camino del Norte
- Camino Primitivo
- V'a de la Plata
- Camino Ingl's
- Camino de Invierno

Presented as a beautiful hardback, with gorgeous illustrations throughout and on the cover by renowned illustrator Claire Harrup, the book makes a thoughtful travel gift and lasting keepsake for anyone drawn to the Camino.
