SAN DIEGO, Calif. /Massachusetts Newswire – National News/ — Camino Chronicles Press (https://CaminoChroniclesPress.com) and Karin Kiser today announced the release of “Before the Camino: Your Pocket Guide to Prepare Your Body and Mind for the Camino de Santiago.”
While most Camino guidebooks focus on logistics, Kiser takes a new approach in this comprehensive guide, addressing the deeper issues that compel people from all walks of life to the Camino de Santiago.
“As interest in the Camino explodes worldwide, so do concerns that the essence of this ancient pilgrimage route is being lost among the crowds,” Kiser says. “I am to change that.”
“The Camino has changed a great deal since I first walked it in 2011,” Kiser explains. “It has become more commercialized and more digital, with tour groups, Camino apps, and cell phones virtually everywhere. My intention with ‘Before the Camino’ is to highlight what makes the Camino de Santiago much more than a vacation or a bucket-list item.”
In “Before the Camino,” readers will discover the top myths of the Camino, pilgrim etiquette, Camino traditions, and the importance of preparing mentally, as well as physically, for what is often a transformative life experience.
“Before the Camino” is book # 1 in Kiser’s series of pocket guides for the Camino. Book # 2, “Your Inner Camino,” is designed to accompany pilgrims as they walk or bike the Camino. Book # 3, “After the Camino,” details how to integrate the Camino experience into daily life at home.
