Camino Francés

[Anne Miller]

I plan on doing the Camino in several stages starting in late March 2016 from St.-Jean-Pied-de-Port.

How do I get started, is there maps/books that I should buy ahead of time...?

I've used the http://www.mundicamino.com/rutas.cfm?id=15 sight for the Manchego way Ciudad Real To Toledo but the English translation was difficult and the final map into Toledo showed a pedestrian bridge at the waters edge that no longer exits... at least I was right at the edge of the city, but wondering if I can trust this web site for the French Way?

Trust, but verify...

What about

or

If I may add, you simply can't get lost over the non-existent bridge on Camino Frances. It's a highway of pilgrims these days...

Ultreia!
