Camino Finisterre: Pilgrims who continue to the 'End of the Earth' Finis Terrae often refer to this as a highlight in their journeying. In the first edition it was described as the road less travelled but that acclaim has now passed to Muxía which has become the ideal extension for those seeking space for rest and reflection before returning home. The paths to Finisterre and Muxía 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. Come and experience her untamed beauty and the purity of the light that has attracted spiritual seekers for countless millennia. The light, while obscured, lies hidden in our memory. It is no coincidence that the path to the end of the world ends at a lighthouse and the Ara Solis. This guidebook describes the only camino that departs from Santiago. However, in recent years it has been recognised for a Com…

Camino Inglés: This ancient route was popular with pilgrims arriving by sea from England, Ireland and Northern Europe in the medieval period. It all but faded from memory but is quietly coming back to life and now ready to welcome pilgrims seeking a more solitary way along the rugged rías of Northern Galicia. It was previously combined with the route to Finisterre which was described as the road less travelled but that acclaim has now passed to the English way (or Celtic way) that starts in Ferrol or A Coruña and now fully merits its own edition. Few pilgrims walking the Camino Inglés commence in A Coruña which, at less than 100 km, does not entitle the pilgrim to a compostela unless they have walked an extra 25 km in their own country or combine it with the route from Ferrol. This provides an opportunity to visit the only site in Galicia directly linked with the life of Jesus - his first miracle in Cana of Galilee. By combining two distinct starting points we also come to understand …

Vielleicht ist es das Fehlen beeindruckender Kathedralen, vielleicht ist es die manchmal unwirtliche, aber gerade deshalb berührend schöne Landschaft, oder sind es die Gebirgspässe und Hochplateaus von Asturien und Galicien, die den Camino Primitivo zum Geheimtipp unter den Pilgern gemacht haben. Zweifellos stellt er höhere physische Anforderungen an den Pilger, aber wer authentische Pilgererfahrung auf (noch) einsamen uralten Wegen sucht, findet sie auf den 310 Kilometern des Camino Primitivo, in seinen winzigen Kapellen und in den Resten seiner mittelalterlichen Hospize, wo wir so deutlich wie kaum anderswo den Geist der Pilger von bald 1200 Jahren Jakobsweggeschichte verspüren...
