New Ebook

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The book lists accommodation along the camino Frances ranging from 'no-cost' to 11 euro.
I sincerely hope the 'no-cost' albergues are not the 'donativo' albergues????
I worked in a 'donativo' albergue and the donations received one day paid for the meals we prepared for pilgrims the following day. They also paid for their tea/coffee, first aid items, electricity, water, cleaning materials etc. 'No-cost' albergues are a misnomer and should not be advertised as such.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Not to disturb your sales efforts, but this was all I needed:

You can also download and print for "free" (donativo is my recommended action):

And a route planner (free):

I used the route planner to find appropriate daily distances and elevation differences, then printed and laminated it. It was a big help as well as fun to study along the way over a pint or two :wink: .
