Here you go, @JillGat. It's not a paper map, but the many layers of information make up for that.Would love to have a big map of all of Spain showing the Roman roads
The Valcarlos route is on the map of Roman roads I just shared with Jill, as is (roughly) the Baztan route.Don’t forget that Somport was an early pass over the Pyrenees, too.
Interesting.Here you go, @JillGat. It's not a paper map, but the many layers of information make up for that.
I'm not sure what you're referring to, @Robo but if you click on the tab that says 'layer' it gives a bunch of options that it can display if you click on that option.How do the layers / legend work?
For example, not sure what Zoom/10 means in regard to adding modern place names

Legend just is like a legend on a regular map.
If you want modern place names, click on a labeled place on the map and then go to the places tab, and you'll see lots of information displayed (this is on a PC, not a smartphone, BTW).
For example, here's what happened when I clicked on Deobrigula (the yellow pointer):

Thanks for this thread. When I finished the Ingles, we toured for three days, so I know the names of many of the places on and around the area from the river up to the coast where you can find Las Catedrales. I salute everyone who has chugged up the steep roads/ paths around there! I had my heart in my mouth as a passenger in the car! I know it will never be a camino for me, but that does not stop me from appreciating the research that uncovers past activities and stories. I am once again reminded that we know where we are going when we know from whence we have come...Playing with the overlays is fascinating.
A lot is technical, but there are overlays that are quite mind-blowing. For example, look at the gold mines between what is now Astorga and Lugo.
We think of Las Medulas and a few sites nearby, but those Romans were busy everywhere.

All the silver mines were in the south; there were many of them between What are now Cordoba and Merida.
Aren't they?The maps posted on this thread are amazing! I had no idea the Romans had so much going on in Iberia.
About an hour later, after a little climb, I got to the ruins of Numancia, an iron age hill fort partly guarded by the Duero forming a moat on three sides, and giving spectacular views forward and back. It was here that the celtiberians resisted Scipio in a siege lasting almost a year, finally committing mass suicide rather than surrender. Unfortunately, lacking a Josephus, or indeed an alphabet, they are somewhat over-shadowed by Masada. Cervantes wrote a play about the events.
Starting in Bordeaux ?I want to walk this!
