Sv: travel guides and maps

[fkjaer]

Dear Theresa,

As Pieter said, the maps in the Bravo Lozano book aren't the best
(to say the least) but as photocopies they served me well. High
quality detailed maps would be better of course. Some say, however,
that you do not need maps at all as the route is very well marked.
They're right, it is well marked even in the big cities, but I liked
the maps to orientate myself and having an idea about how
long a walk I had ahead of me. Besides I made notes on the
maps as I walked.

¡Ultreya!

Frans.
