I carried the entire Lozano book which was a little heavy. After a while I discarded the pages covering the part of the Camino I completed to eliminate a few ounces. The color photos and text covering points of interest helped me decide what spots I wanted to visit along the way or at night. I also took the Camino section of the Lonely Planet Walking in Spain guide with me which was also very useful as a cross check to each days walk set forth in the Lozano book. Howard Mendes, NYC<BR>

p.s. I just returned from S. Africa where I had a wonderful reunion with many Camino friends. I also met Father Frank who is going to start his second Camino in 4 weeks, this time the Camino from Lisbon north.</FONT></HTML>
