Questions: Book? maps? weather?

[Ralph Alcorn]

I recommend either of these two (pasted from my website):

Davies and Cole - Walking the Camino de Santiago is an excellent guide that 
just came out. It weighs 11 oz., describes the route, some of the history, plus 
some of the flora and fauna. It reads easily, has some sketch maps and 
elevation profiles of the route.  I highly recommend it.  Their website is 
www.pilipalapress.com     
John Brierley - A Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino Francés: From St. Jean Pied 
de Port to Santiago de Compostela. This 15+ oz guide is full color with 33 
excellent maps and trail profiles along with route descriptions. Each map 
represents a typical day. Good beginner info, self help info for the spiritual 
journey. Get this if you don't get Davies and Cole, or get both and decide yourself.    
 

Also, do order the Confraternity of St. James Camino Frances.  They will air 
post it and it takes about a week to arrive in the US. The link is on our 
camino page http://www.backpack45.com/camino2.html
