Sinopsis

This comprehensive guidebook describes the Way of St James (Camino de Santiago) pilgrim route through France. Also known as the Chemin de St Jacques or GR65, the 730km (454 mile) route runs from Le Puy-en-Velay in central France to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in the Pyrenees. People have been walking it as a pilgrimage route for over 1000 years, and with adequate preparation it is suitable for most walkers with a basic level of fitness. This indispensible guide contains detailed descriptions and sketch mapping for the route, accompanied by a wealth of practical advice on accommodation, facilities and local points of interest. It also includes information about the history of the pilgrimage, and notes on holy sites and imagery along the route. The guidebook describes 2-3 additional days from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Roncevalles (and Pamplona), for those continuing along the Camino Frances through northern Spain. It also outlines a 3-4 day route from Saint-Palais direct to Irun, which links with the Camino del Norte coastal route. A companion volume: The Way of St James: Pyrenees-Santiago-Finisterre covers the Spanish section of the route.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

Acerca del autor

A chance viewing of a television programme in the early 1970s sparked Alison's interest in the Pilgrim Road to Santiago, which was at that time barely known in Britain. A walker for most of her life, she had the opportunity to walk the 1000-mile Camino from Le Puy-en-Velay to Santiago all in one go in 1990, a time which coincided, fortuitously, with Cicerone Press looking for an author to write an original guide in English to the Spanish section of the route. After that Alison walked and explored many of the pilgrim roads through Europe (France, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal) and wrote about several of them. Her 2002 Cicerone guide The Pilgrim Road to Nidaros is now both out of print and out of date, but a new edition (in English), The Pilgrim Road to Trondheim, was published in 2015 by Museumsforlaget in Trondheim. Alison's other interests included music and she played the French horn. Sadly, Alison died in 2020 following a long illness.
