[QUOTE="dougfitz, post: 1216281, member: 10982"] I didn't realize that there was a Spanish government department or agency responsible for defining the Camino routes. I would appreciate more information on that. In the meantime, this is the explanation provided by IGN ([URL='https://centrodedescargas.cnig.es/CentroDescargas/index.jsp']here[/URL]) where they describe the sources they used for the Camino mapping: Fairly clearly they, as a mapping agency, are describing the Camino routes as best understood by the Spanish Jacobean associations, as one might expect a mapping agency to do. This is, in my view, quite different to defining the routes in some legalistic sense. I suspect there might be legal descriptions of such things somewhere, such as the definitions in the Galician heritage legislation that gives rise to the official routes recognised by the Cathedral of Santiago. As for the two routes that you provided in your post, so far as I can ascertain from the image you have provided, the route that I walked following the waymarks both times I did the CF was the blue one. The red one seems to follow some secondary roads, and does an odd detour into the area of Cirauqai. That seems odd for a camino route. Clearly I don't know where you sourced this information from, but it certainly doesn't follow the walking route I used. [/QUOTE]
