Time of past OR future Camino
pondering 2024
I am anxious to start planning and do better with a guidebook to start. Are the 2023 guides still basically ok to use, or shall I wait for the 2024 guides to be released? (I did pre-order John Brierly's book from this site, but I am too impatient. I will have a lot to learn about patience on the Camino I think.) Thank you!
 
Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Prices in many guide books may be obsolete before the book is even printed because the information was gathered many months, if not longer, beforehand. I remember that from my younger days with “Frommer’s Europe on $5/$10 a Day” series. But, even so, they still let you know what will likely fit your budget.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
