<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=407595019-23052001>I
found the Lonely Planet's Walking Guide to Spain to be helpful. The last 30
pages or so are dedicated to the Camino. It's not as in-depth as the Practical
Guide for Pilgrim's, but it does map the route from Roncellvales to
Compestela. I am planning to take the 30 pages with me as my guide book when I
leave next week.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=407595019-23052001>For
an anthropological perspective, I also read Nancy Frey's book entitled "Pilgrim
Stories" which was lovely and informational. Some of the stories are moving and
she does a wonderful job of giving credence to each Pilgrim's story. I don't
plan to take it with me, but have a lot of memories from what I
read.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P>I am Leslie, a new person on the list from Washington DC. I plan to
walk the Camino for the first time starting at the end of June. I wanted
to let people know that I called the Spanish Tourist Office in New York
yesterday, and they no longer give out the <U>Practical Guide for
Pilgrims</U>. The woman I spoke to said I should plan to find it in Spain.
<P>Has anyone used the guide books offered on the web by the Camino group in
England? Does one <BR>really need a guidebook?
<P>Thanks <BR>Leslie <BR> <BR> </P></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
