This is weird: I'm living in Portugal and trying to find a copy of the 2023 edition of the Dintaman & Landis guide to the Camino Francés.

Local stores don't carry it. Ivar's Camino Store doesn't list it. Amazon.com has it but I need a source in the EU. Amazon.es doesn't have it. Amazon.de has it (at an inflated price) but for some reason say they won't ship it to Portugal (they do ship other goods).

Is the problem that it's sold out in many places? Or something else?

This is the one I'm looking for:

Camino Francés: St. Jean – Santiago – Finisterre

Amazon.es --which seems to cover purchases from Portugal as well-- has the Kindle version, but it looks like only the older version of the paperback. Not sure where else you could order from!

Good luck and bom caminho...

Amazon.es

you can order it from amazon.com and it ships to Portugal
https://www.amazon.com/Camino-Santi...p-1947474235/dp/1947474235/?tag=casaivar02-20
transport comes with a price tag of $12.76 , but if that makes the difference between have and have-not...
why would you need a source in the EU?

Shipping to Portugal is a no-go. The Portuguese customs bureau is notorious for delays and outrageously high import duties. Part of the price we paid for moving to this lovely country is that we will never order anything from outside the EU, not even care packages from family unless they're hand-delivered.

I know exactly what you mean, I have had to return 2 gift packages that I received in Portugal from family members because I could not sort out the customs conundrum they have created.

This is what we've found as well. Amazon.es is your friend.
