holy year

[jim allen]

Hola;
Once you get a detailed guide to the route you will feel much better about
not getting lost.  When you see how the route is depicted in the guide(s)
you will be more comfortable.  The Spanish tourist office may give you "The
guide" that shows every hostal, hotel, restaurant, gas station, church,
ruin, castle, mountain, city, village, etc.  Sure, you may still get lost
but it won't be easy.  Remember on sunny days the sun rises behind you and
should be in your face in the afternoon.  My son and I corrected our journey
(by bike) by looking at our shadows.
We biked in September 2000 a non holy year and it was not crowded at all.
Most go in the summer because they have to.  They were mostly back to work
and at home when we went.

Jaime, El Peregrino
