The Moon Camino de Santiago isn't just another travel guidebook. Its focus includes a great deal of information on the history, churches, monuments, archaeology, and the practices of the area's people over time. If you want to know whether there's a black virgin in a town, what that ruin up the hill was, or how to interpret interesting symbolism in a chapel, this is your book. While other guides to the Camino Frances provide travel information, the Moon Camino de Santiago offers suggestions for a select group of restaurants, accommodations, and Camino-related sites, and includes many photos and maps, including a fold-out map of the entire route in a back pocket in the paperback edition. I used the paperback before walking, then the map and Kindle version during my most recent Camino. I found the author to be right on target for places to stay and eat, and used her engaging descriptions of important and interesting attractions to keep my focus on the experience of the Camino as I experienced it rather than on physical discomfort and anticipation of hitting a distance goal each day. Kudos to Beebe Bahrami for an excellent revised edition!
