If this is the one i think it is you can get a free copy  in english ( but
minus the map kit.) by writing to teh spanish consiul in NY.. I photocopied the
maps ( one for each stage / day )and left the book at home.  Worked out well as
the backs of the  photocopies of each stage were perfect for notes on each days
walk.
