New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
Thanks for that information - it is the sort of course I would definitely be interested in. However, I couldn't find that particular course on the website. Perhaps I will find it if I keep browsing, but maybe you can give a link to the particular page.

Thanks again!

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
It looks very interesting but I don't think those dates are possible for me this year. However, I'll watch for something in 2009. I have bookmarked the site! Thanks for the help.
 
The course is Español y Camino de Santiago.

Students must have an intermediate level of Spanish language to attend this course.
