<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am a 58 year old from Calgary Alberta Canada.
Margaret, my partner, and I walked the Camino Frances in 2001. We started as
mainly walkers and ended up pilgrims.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am planning a solo walk from Porto to Santiago
via the coastal route in late September/early October. I have not been
successful in obtaining recent detailed maps or gudes for this route. I have
contacted the portuguese tourist board, the Friends of the Caminho in Porto
and have ordered the CSJ guide for Portugal but it's latest revision is year
2000.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Specifically I would appreciate the
following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. a recommendation regarding appropriate sources
for recent guides and maps for the Portuguese Route. We were impressed by
the yellow books available on the CF (mostly toted by Germans). However, I
need one in English for Portugal.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Can I obtain a credential in Porto? If not
where?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Is the route well-marked in Portugal?
Once at Tui I can see the Galician portion is well
marked. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. Recommendations regarding inexpensive
accommodation in Porto either downtown or near the route</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>5. Are there refugios along the route in
Portugal? Recommendations regarding inexpensive alternate accommodation along
the route will be appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>6. Recommendations regarding must sees along the
route and also recommendations on what to avoid</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>7. Any large changes from 2001 in Santiago
proper? By October will the flood of pilgrims for the jubilee year
lessen?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>8. Finally what kind of weather can I
expect?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you in advance for any and all information
you can provide.</FONT></DIV>
