Reading about the Camino

To get a visual and experiential sense of the walk to Santiago I found a fantastic book called _Camino Footsteps_ by Malcolm and Kim Wells (2008). Great photos and a text that is descriptive and evocative. You can find it at Berkelouw Books. Lonely Planet covers the Camino well in their Spain book and in more detail in their _Walking in Spain_ I found a book by an English writer, Tim Moore about his journey with a donkey _Spanish Steps: One Man and his Ass on the Pilgrim Way to Santiago_. Hilarious. I found it at the Waverleyl Library (whose catalogue has about 20 hits on 'Camino de Santiago.' Including Paulo Coelho whose book _The Pilgrimage_ documents his spiritual transformations on the walk . Felipe had this book in his bookshelf.
