Some but not all, and other routes too.
In the past when I've walked my In House Advisor has had a map of the route on the kitchen wall and at the end of each walking day has marked on the map where I am.
Now I have been trying source a map for the VDLP so she can do the same, I've had no luck in my search. Does anyone know where I can purchase such a map?

Thanks

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-

Pesetas...ah those were the days...

Hola Yes - it takes me back to 1973, I think I came home with coins from Eng/Holland/Denmark/Norway/Sweden/Belgium/France/Spain/Portugal/Switzerland & Italy (oh and some from Hong Kong - then very much still a British Crown Colony!!)

A "Tourigrino" trip once Covid has passed, so 2023
I lament the more favorable exchange rate when dealing with lira, pesetas, francs, etc., instead is Euros. Euros are more convenient, albeit more expensive...
Reminiscing with my eldest brother this week about the family holiday we had in Austria in 1963. We took a day trip down into Italy (dangerous countryside in those days especially for Carabineri) and I lost a 1000 lire note in the market -seemed like a fortune at the time (especially as some people used the £ for Lire) but, in reality only GBP 0.60!

In 1963 a good suit cost 200 pesetas in Spain. Less than 2 euros !!

Shouldn't that be 12 shillings Jeff?

Hi Waka - I love the term 'House Advisor'! Would that person be the same as 'She Who Must Be Obeyed', or ''Er Indoors', harking back to the great series "Rumpole" and I can't recall the name of the other series!
In our house, for some strange reason was coined and which has stuck over the years, it's 'Vice President, Marketing Dept'!
Cheers to you and the House Advisor from Oz -

There was an old French IGN map "Les Chemins de Saint Jacques de Compostelle" (which I have and am not selling sorry), which showed all of the major Camino routes from as far away as Greece, Romania, and Poland, but very sadly they've replaced it in their catalogue with one showing only the routes in France.

Of course, for the current routes in Spain, that old map is very VERY out of date, and it would be mostly useless for such purposes as route planning on the VDLP ... and indeed for any purely Spanish Ways, a good and very recent map would obviously be best.

But one amazing thing about this old IGN map is that instead of showing the present somewhat politically or even slightly touristy -designed routes of the yellow arrows and etc, it shows the trace of the most traditional and historical paths -- so that for example the Camino de Madrid on this map is shown as following what has turned into the foul dual carriageway road between Valladolid and Léon, instead of the current far more hiker-friendly but completely unhistorical route up to Sahagun.

And whilst in most cases this sort of anachronostic detailing of old routes on that old map is pretty useless for the purposes of walking in Spain, it's very useful indeed on this side of the Pyrenees or for planning non-standard routes -- but this time 'round I found it to be very useful indeed for planning the route of my home-to-home one in the first half of 2019, via Andorra and Salamanca and Fatima.

Then again, I was amazed to find, this time round, that a certain extremely old map -- https://alainbrunel10.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/caminos-st-jacq1.jpg -- actually came in very useful, when I came upon it in wall-poster-size-form, to plan a certain detail of my route !!

Some contemporary maps are still helpful for off-the-beaten-track planning -- http://evasion-online.com/les-voyages/europe/les-chemins-de-compostelle -- http://www.e-voyageur.com/sites/default/files/imp/b/4/a/les-chemins-de-compostelle- -- even http://www.compostelle-paca-corse.i...170113-carte_des_chemins_compostelle-rome.png
-- but really the most useful tool for the up-to-date contemporary routes that I've found to date is a Czech computer and mobile app called mapy.cz (exists for PC, Android, iPhone, even Windows Phone) ; it does bug out sometimes (rarely) for particular locations, but it shows the majority of all European long-distance hiking trails, which naturally include all of the major and minor waymarked Camino Ways.

Oh I do like the name Vice President Marketing Dept, it just has that ring to it.
The Er Indoors comes from the television series Minder starring George Cole and Denis Waterman, like Rumple a very good series, doesn't to take you back.
I guess your husband like me knows our place:D
