The only guidebook covering the Camino Ingles, or Celtic Camino. Popular with pilgrims arriving by sea in the medieval period, it is quietly coming alive again and ready to welcome pilgrims seeking a more solitary way along the rugged rias of Northern Galicia. It provides the minimum distance for a Compostela.
Pilgrims who continue to the 'End of the Earth' often refer to this as a highlight in their journeying. Both paths are uniquely beautiful, full of the flavours of Galicia and her deliciously authentic culture. The spirit of St. James is alive in the deep river valleys and rolling hills that make up her Landscape Temple.
