Started today from StJPdP without a guidebook - can anyone help?

[Misen]

Hi!
Thanks for a great forum! This is the first time I'm writing but I've read "everything". I bought, via Paypal, a guidebook in a pdf format from a Canadian company before I left for Spain. The problem is that the company has taken the money out of my account last Tuesday but still not delivered the pdf, and they don't answer on e-mail. I don't remember the name of the book but the company is called PiliPalaPress. Is there any pilgrims out there who has the pdf and can send me a link to download it? My brother and I would appreciate it very much! Ultreia! /Maria and Mattias, today just arrived at Roncesvalles

Maria and Mattais, I don't own a copy but I did just try the web site and the software crashed my pc !
So, SORRY , I can't help , hopefully someone else will be able to any minute now ..... I guess you're in the right place to find an old fashioned guide book at a push ?
Regardless, Beun Camino

Hi Misen

If you click on " Camino Resources" at the top there you will see a pdf download for the Camino Frances if I´m not mistaken. A donation will be appreciated for it.

Buen Camino!

I believe you were suppose to download the pdf version of this book - have you tried?

Here is the link the book
http://www.pilipalapress.com/order.html

As per their instructions they should have send you an email whereby you can download the pdf of the book.

As far I as know Ben Cole has stopped publishing this book a number of years ago.

I would suggest you download some of other online guides people have already suggested and then when you get to Pamplona search out a recent copy of John Brierley's book in one of the local bookshops

Maria and Mattias,

A very handy lightweight multi-language pocket-size guide for the Camino Frances is this Michelin 160 Camino de Santiago >> http://travel.michelin.co.uk/map-160---camino-de-santiago-scale-1150-000-1277-p.asp

In SJPdP tomorrow morning you should easily find it at the Direction Compostelle shop run by a helpful, veteran pilgrim >> http://www.directioncompostelle.com/directioncompostelle/librairie.html.

Bon chemin and Buen Camino,

Margaret Meredith

I purchased said PDF last fall and recieved it promptly.

Links can be found on Canadian Company of Pilgrims website

Sorry, I won't forward the document as that was part of the deal. I have PM'd you with contact link and hopefully they will respond to that.

Just don't stay in Larrosoana guys.
Zabiri then Pamplona and get book there

In Pamplona you can try here. >> http://www.caminoteca.com/. It is also run by a former pilgrim and VERY user friendly.

I also recommend this site, I used it extensively and I purposely did not use a guide book. The site is in Spanish but Google Translate is well up to the task
