Ok.. so it wasn't really "lost."
In fact, I left it on purpose.

I left it at the Convent in Leon after deciding it was too hot to walk the VDLP in 2011.

Now I'd like to continue the journey where I left off and guess what?
The book is inconveniently out of print!

So if you found my book, could I borrow it back?
I'll be happy to mail it back to you once my trip is over.

Here is a photo, in case you found it.
Sorry about the sentiment.. I really wasn't in my right mind!

Not sure where you are finding that link, but when I checked, the prices were more like this:
2 new from £81.85
2 used from £81.83

and most places said, "UNAVAILABLE"

If you can find it for $28, please send the link
Thanks

Hi Annie,
I have a Cicerone guide to Via de la Plata by Alison Raju. It is the 2005 edition.

I realise I will never be able to do the long stretches on it.

If you would like it, just send your address to me at lydiagillen@gmail.com I will post it to you.

Buen Camino,
Lydia

If you have an iPhone/Touch/Pad, I've got a VDLP guide out that currently covers Sevilla to Salamanca (text, photos, maps, etc., including lots of info on the tricky sections). It was created from trips in November 2010 and March 2011, so it's very current. I'm heading back out in September to walk/write the Salamanca to Santiago portion, which you can upload free once you've purchased the app ($2.99). Check it out at http://sutromedia.com/apps/Via_de_la_Plata.

Thanks Lydia and Melanie.
My ex has the Cicerone guide and will loan it to me. But thank you so much!

Melanie, I have your guide uploaded. Thanks.
I just really miss the other one and hope it might turn up.
You never know! :lol:
Miracles happen on the Camino!

I would suggest that you DO NOT purchase the Raju guide. I used the most recent one last month and found it to be barely better than worthless. It is badly outdated both in terms of the route and accommodations. It will lead you astray as often as helping you. From what I say other pilgrims using I think you would be better off getting a foreign language guide rather than anything in English. One of the best I saw was produced by the Amigos Del Camino De Santiago De Sevilla and I see that they now have a version in English.

There were things about it that I liked, including my many notes.
I'd like to find mine.
It's out there . . . maybe even in the convent library!
