excellent prep for El Camino!
I really enjoyed reading Mark O’Sullivan’s book. He provides some valuable information in a concise and quickly read format. Some of the info was familiar to me, but there was much that was new.
Thanks, Mark, for a great read!

This was copyrighted in 2020 - so some of it is out of date, but in general it's a good read for how to prepare for the Camino - no matter if you're going the last 100km or doing the full trip.
