trailhead in Lorca Spain

The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.
I'm planning on taking train in Aug/Sept from Valencia to Lorca. Will I be able to find the trailhead in Lorca for Camino Frances heading to Santiago?
@CaminoFitz - just in case you didn't know, there are two places in Spain called Lorca, a long way apart! Make sure you're heading to the right one. I only mention this because the Lorca which has a train station (Lorca in Murcia) is not the one on the Camino Francés (Lorca in Navarra). If you are heading to Lorca on the Camino Francés your nearest train station is probably Pamplona, then a bus from there. This Lorca is tiny and the Camino goes right through it - no problem finding it if you're in the right town!

Some on this forum might advise you to use Rome2rio.com to find your route- usually that's good advice, but I've noticed if you enter Lorca as a destination it only gives one option ("Lorca, Spain"), and it's the wrong one. If you actually type in Lorca Navarra, it does give you the correct one, but it's confusing!

Apologies if you know all of this already!
