planning to walk

[Rosina Lila]

Hi Ida,
In my view, the very best Educational,  Historical, step-by-step Camino
planning book is "THE PILGRIMAGE ROAD TO SANTIAGO"  by Gitliz and Davidson.
It has no maps, but you can get them anywhere.  The book's ISBN is
0-312-25416-4.
I found the best maps to be, hands down,  those little ones published by
"Ediciones Way" . They really are pocket maps and are put out in sections,
for instance St.  Jean to Burgos, and then Burgos to Santiago. The maps are
foldable to about the size of a pack of cigarretes, but flat, and have
distances, telephone numbers, information about facilities, etc.,  in
Spanish, French, English and German.  The maps are called "El Camino Jacobeo
en tu bolsillo", (The Way os St. James in your pocket).
They are sold in bookstores in Spain, but you can order them directly from:
                    EDICIONES WAY, S.L.
                    San Anselmo No. 1
                    2818 Madrid
                     SPAIN
Of the eight or so other maps that I took I found these to be the most
practical.... by far.
