Camino de Santiago Books
Camino de Santiago Guidebooks
There are many different guidebooks available for all Camino Routes. The books written by John Brierly are excellent. These guidebooks are small (and light) with a ton of practical information. They are great for planning and to carry with you on your pilgrimage.
Camino de Santiago Novels
The Camino has inspired many authors and you can learn a lot about the pilgrimage from several excellent books written about the journey. I read and review some of the most well-known books about the Camino de Santiago.
- PILGRIM by Carolyn Gillespie – An enjoyable, well-written pilgrimage story, that thousands can relate to, of a middle-aged woman who resigns from her demanding job and walks the Camino.
- The Only Way is West by Bradley Chermside is a fun book about a younger pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago who sells his business, makes friends, and has a life-changing experience on The Way.
- The Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho is an inspirational tale about a man in a cult searching for a mystic sword with his master on the Camino de Santiago route.
- The Camino, A Pilgrimage of Courage by Shirley MacLaine, a famous Hollywood actress walks the Camino Frances, the majority of the book is about her dreams and hallucinations while walking the Camino de Santiago.
- I´m Off Then – Hape Kerkeling This is an entertaining pilgrimage story about a ´Couch Potato´ comedian with a stressful lifestyle and health problems who realizes he needs to change his life and walks the Camino de Santiago.

Hi in your videos I see you have a little lock on the outside of your bag. What is the purpose?

Hello Deb. Thank you for the comment. We usually use it in albergues to lock our valuable stuff in the lockers. Some albergues have lockers but don't have locks for that reason we always carry one with us. Buen Camino

Wondering if you know if there is luggage transfer help on the Portuguese litoral way like there is on the costal way?

Hello Alissa. Thank you for the comment. You can use the same companies that do luggage transfer on the Coastal Route (Pilbeo and Tui Trans). The start and the end of the stages on both route are the same so for them it doesn't matter which one you walk. Buen Camino

Hello!! I was wondering if you still sold any more scallop or arrow t shirts like the ones worn in your "About Us" photo (dark blue, weathered style design)...? I love that style.
Thank you for such a comprehensive and informative website! Super excited doing research for my first Camino very very soon :)

Hello Claudia. Thank you for the comment. We bought the t-shirts you're asking about at one of the stores in Santiago de Compostela years ago after one of our first Camino walks. We do not have similar yet but we're extending our designs. I think it's a good idea to have some with similar print. Buen Camino
