I received a new map book for the Camino Frances the other day from Amazon UK.
It is a green Michelin guide from St Jean to Santiago and is called:-
Camino de Santiago 1 : 150 000
It is quite good as it has very basic albergue information, maps on one page and the elevation profile of the facing page.
The one disavdvantage that I can see is that it does not have the alternative paths marked on it - for example going to Sarria the path goes through Samos - it doesn't show the direct way, and another instance is leaving Leon - it only shows the path going along the road - not the lovely scenic one going through the holmwood oaks. However these could be drawn in and it would then be a very light map document to carry.
It is comparatively recent (Jan 2010) and costs 5.99 pound.
Sorry, don't know how to add a picture (I did try!) but maybe someone else knows how. Cheers, Janet
