Hello all, and Peter,

Thank you all for information regarding the book "A Practical Guide for
Pilgrims - The Road to Santiago" by Millán Bravo Lozano! :)

My apologies regarding Mme Debril.  My opinion of her is in reaction to
accounts written by other pilgrims.  I, myself, have not met her, so my
opinion was hastily made.  I have every intention of entering her office in
St. Jean Pied-de-Port, and no matter what the outcome of our meeting, I
will give her the most respect, as I intend to respect all along the
Camino.  Again, my apologies.

Jennifer

>I'm sorry to hear that the book (very large and heavy) you want to have is

>As a footpilgrim to Santiago I have to say it's a beautiful book (with bad
>maps) and nice for at home to relive your Camino.
>Much better, lighter and more informative in a practical sense is the
French
>book by Laborde and the Spanish, by El Pais. The English society has a
>leaflet which is updated often and however without maps (in Spain you
cannot
>get lost on account of the large yellow marks put everywhere), is very good
>for addresses and phone numbers.
>However is anyone on this list is interested in the Everest edition in
>English he or she is cordially invited to contact me and I'll arrange a
>shipment.
>Considering Mme Debrill, how you may think of her, she was an inspiration
>for the Camino for many, many years and she did it in a time that
>pilgrimages to Santiago where not widely known. She was and remains a grand
>promoter of the Camino and in that we should honour her !!
