Sampedro, Elias Valina (1992) Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino de Santiago. Editorial Galaxia. ISBN-10: 8471547945. First comprehensive guide in English prepared by the parish priest at O Cebreiro, the person most responsible for re-blazing the route and making the present day pilgrimage possible. We are considering this as a historical book because as a guide book the material is very outdated. As a history it has a special place in the lore of the Camino. |
