I have a copy of this book at home that I bought in Santiago at the end of my
trip.  It is very interesting but as far as taking it on the camino, only if
you are driving.  Even the clear pastic envelope is heavy, at least heavier
than the CSJ guide.  We used the CSJ guide and found it to be excellent.  When
I compare the two for info on refugios etc, it is far better than the Lozano
'envelope'.
