Unlike existing guides (in any language) this one contains two additional features: details of the walkers continuation from Santiago to Finisterre (75km) and a comprehensive listing of St. James and other pilgrim references along the way (as an Appendix). It also contains a list of suggestions for further reading a glossary of geographical and other useful terms and a series of sketch maps covering the entire route.
