<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Leonard!</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I am also curious about the origin of the names. Please, let me know if you ever get a compilation of them.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Someone should be able to do it if has the access to some information. Maybe, our friends in Spain? Maybe students at the University of Compostela?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>For sure I believe you already know that "Compostela" means "Campo de Estrellas" or "Field of Stars" probably referring to the "Milk Way". </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Does any one know where one can find the origin of the names of the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>cities and towns along the Camino? An example is "Pamploma" which means</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>as far as I can tell "The city of Pompey" This part of the history is</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>very elusive.</FONT>
