2 comments about Michelin Red Guide 2007 Espana & Portugal: Hoteles & Restaurantes (Michelin Red Guides).

1. I was looking for information for a trip to Portugal but the book is about 80% Spain and 20% Portugal. It also is not in English. It was helpful but not as much as I expected.



2. I am a professional chef who: loves Spain; specializes in modern Spanish cuisine; visits often; needs accurate professional information about restaurants and hotels. I buy this book every year.
   
   I also own many of Michelin's other guides. This is definitely the most accurate. Their Spanish reviewers are spot-on: if the book says it is good...it is good. Well, 90% of the time....which is all you can ask for.
   
   The accuracy of the book extends all the way from the least expensive restaurants, tapas bars, agroturismos and hotels to the most expensive.
   
   Michelin is a big organization...and moves slowly. Many of the tiny, up and coming places are missed....thank god. I don't want a bunch of tourists clogging up the good spots!
   
   Just kidding.....
   
   And....as for the other reviewer who was mad that the book was in Spanish.....Duh! The title is in Spanish, dummy! And, why are you going to Spain if you don't speak Spanish? There is an English section at the front to explain everything.
   
   The reviewer also complained that 80% of the book was about Spain. Well, Spain has by far the best, most modern, most advanced, most creative food in the world....along with the best ingredients.
   
   So....why are you going to Portugal?

1. This is a great book and is a very useful guide to the pilgrimage. It is hard to find, and Amazon is doing a great service in trying to provide it for pilgrims. However extracts from the book with very useful information can be found at the Telegraph Online London web site in the TRAVEL section. Look search under Yahoo for Telegraph Online and then Browse the many pages and articles on the pilgrimage found under the travel section. The book is fully reviewed in the newspapers's travel pages, the site has many useful useful facts about the pilgrimage including a FAQ



2. This book is powerful in its simplicity. Stanton's journey is mundane, but from the people he meets and the sites he visits, we learn much about life and travel.Books on the pilgrimage are plenty now, but I would recommend this one for the everyday traveler taking the path.



3. This is a fascinating book, and will appeal both to those who love travel tales and those on a spiritual quest. No self-described holy man, the author is frank about doubting his faith and his ambivalence in making the pilgrimage. Yet you see throughout the book how the journey emptied then replinished him He draws vivid word pictures about the sights, smells and characters that he encounters. If you have a desire to drop out of the hustle and bustle of life to learn to listen to the great, glorious creation around you and the Creator above, then this book will make your feet itch to begin your personal pilgrimage. I enjoyed this book thoroughly, and was enriched by the reading. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!



4. When I bought this book I wasn't sure what to expect. I'd already purchased a couple of pilgrim guides but was hungry for more readable material. This isn't a pilgrim guide but rather a sort of journal of the author's experiences on the Way of St. James.

   For anyone interested in the Camino, hiking or just a well written yarn that's hard to put down, I give "Road of Stars to Santiago" two thumbs up!




5. This was the first book I read about the Camino and it remains, more than a decade and 40 similar texts later, still one of the very best such. If one is to read a single straightforward journal account I can think of no better introduction to the subject.
   
   For my recent compilation of pilgrimage quotations ("Ultreia! Onward! Progress of the Pilgrim") I read all 40 or so contemporary English journal accounts available about the various routes. Stanton's is clearly within the first grouping of 8 or so best such books (i.e. largely those written by established authors and/or academics). And Stanton is immensely quotable; indeed, with 20 such abstracted for my review volume Ultreia!, the Road of Stars to Santiago was the single most quoted text of all.

1. I don't usually like History books, because they always feel like reading homework. A friend bought this book for me and I didn't think I was going to be interested--but I was! What a great adventure story--as interesting as Lewis and Clarke or Captain Cook's stories of discovery. I didn't know anything about this expedition, and I've lived in California all my life. I highly recommend this to people who like a good adventure book with some interesting history.



2. Gateway To Alta California: The Expedition To San Diego, 1769 by writer, photographer, and historian Harry W. Crosby is the story of the first land journey to San Diego undertaken by Europeans in 1769. Crosby draws upon original sources such as the journals of Padre Juan Crespi, Joseph deCanizares (Captain Rivera's official scribe), Padre Junipero Serra, and Gaspar de Portola, as well as recreating the overland trek himself (literally on foot and muleback) to map out the original and historic route that went through the then unexplored, unknown, desolate wilderness of northern Baja California to found the community of San Diego. A strongly recommended addition to California Historical Studies reference collections, Gateway To Alta California also lists the names of the Hispanic members of this historic expedition party.
