is not in Spanish. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>In the larger cities along the camino (Pamplona, Burgos, Leon,
Santiago) there are almost always bookstores stores with English or
French sections with some popular readings, and I usually check with
someone at a book store for names of stores that have English titles. We
found one on a side street in Leon and one in Pamplona as well.

<DIV><FONT size=2>Used books are more difficult - but we found them by accident
in cities, so it is worth wandering and asking. We found a store in Burgos
by wandering the side shopping streets and asking shopkeepers. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>We cycled Paris to Santiago in 2000 so needed more than one
book for the 5 wk trek.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>It is worth asking the folks at the refugio cuz they may have
had to look for a book store during their stay.</FONT></DIV>
