John Brierley's guidebook, A Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino de Santiago, will be tucked into one of our packs as we head out onto the Camino. It is current, filled with practical info - a day by day guide to the path, maps, accommodation options in pilgrim hostels (also called refugios or albergues) and historical information - and, unlike some others we've looked at, offers questions for spiritual reflection.
We're also thinking about which one or two wee books each of us will take to nurture our souls along the way. They need to be small and light. (We're aiming to carry only 10-12 pounds each.)
We welcome your recommendations. And we'll have a great reading list to share with friends and family who we've invited to join us in our first ever blog!
Great blog--great idea. Here is a reflection on the Pilgrim's Coat by Jan Richardson
