Pili Pala Press donates to Cork Oak Forest Campaign
Pili Pala Press has just donated almost $2000 to the World Wildlife Fund's Cork Oak Forest Programme. The money represents 4% of the cover price of every Pili Pala Press book sold in 2007. A big thank you to all our customers for making this happen!
Each year, Pili Pala Press donates money to organizations working in Spain and Portugal. Sales from 2005 and 2006 also went to the Cork Oak Forest Campaign. Sales in 2004 went to the Confraternity of St James' new albergue in Miraz on the Camino del Norte. Sales in 2002 and 2003 went to help with the clean-up efforts after the Prestige oil spill; sales in 2000 and 2001 went to organizations working to protect the endangered Iberian Lynx.

Walking the Camino de Santiago blog In 2008, Pili Pala Press is updating Walking the Camino de Santiago. We've started a blog about the research, production & design of the third edition of our bestselling guide, and we'd love to get feedback from readers of previous editions and from anyone who has walked or plans to walk the Camino de Santiago. We plan to bring out the third edition in early 2009.

Camino de Santiago Map Camino de Santiago Map is now available. The first detailed map of the Camino de Santiago strips the camino down to its bare essentials, with 40 full-colour trail maps at 1:100,000 scale and 6 detailed city maps. Each map includes picture icons for accommodation, cafés, restaurants, shops, tourist information, banks and cashpoints. Seven detailed accommodation pages list every albergue (pilgrim hostel) along the way, along with hotels and other places to stay for every budget. All this in a lightweight, compact mapbook that lies flat and stays open even during the strongest gales: no wrestling or origami skills required.

Walking the Camino de Santiago, 2nd edition The second edition of Walking the Camino de Santiago is now available. Entirely re-researched, our authors re-walked the entire route and checked out every albergue along the way. This edition includes new features, such as city maps and an expanded accommodation section, and old favourites such as information on wildlife, food and culture. We've also reduced the weight of the book to make more room in your backpack by printing on thinner recycled paper.
