Maps

[bjlawrence]

Hi

We are going to do the route from Ferrol to Santiago this summer. We are used to walking with 1:25000 maps but are having difficulty in locating them.
Maps worldwide gave me a link to a Spanish site http://www.tienaverde.es/mapasesp/es/mapas.php?lang=es . I am sure it is helpful but I cannot make out what map numbers would correspond to the route. I have gathered that there are 4 maps per square shown so I think we will need quite a few for the route but could anyone who knows the route let me know which numbers we will need.
I know that most pilgrims will not use such detailed maps but we would be much happier with them
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Julie

I think you mean tiendaverde.es ("green shop") and if you use lang=en you get it in English ;-)

You will indeed need quite a few for the whole route, though in the northern part it's on the join of the maps, so some are only briefly used, which seems rather a waste of money. I would have thought you're better off downloading the 1:50,000 ones - viewtopic.php?t=1937 - and printing out the bits you need, though I'm afraid none of them mark the route of the Camino Ingles.

Well, I know it's not what you are looking for, but I would suggest you to visit http://www.amigosdelcamino.com /caminos/Camino Ingles, where pilgrim Fernando Pazos has written about this Camino, with maps, and a lot of useful telephone numbers. Is spanish but ... I hope you like it!

Buen Camino,

Maps again

Hi

Thanks for your help.
I found another post from PeterRobins giving details of a site where we can download 1:50000 maps and even more use a good site where we can discover the numbers of the maps. Unfotunately I am now ready to go ahaed and I have lost his post. I tried to contact Peter direct but it only seems to go to my outbax not my sent box.
I am a computer illiterate!

Thanks again

Julie
