Which guide book for the El Norte

[Stellamaris]

Hello
I will start the El Norte at the end of september, I got a lot of informations in this forum abd I have the Wise P app. and I am wondering if a paper guide is necessary and if yes, would the Wise Pilgrim paper be a good choice.

I do not think you need a paper guide

I used the Wise Pilgrim both paper and digital. It is a great tool.

We used the Camino Places app. A great gps app.

I would carry both app and paper. Devices can and will fail. One trip, my phone was dead for three days. When the battery was finally down to zero, then a recharge brought it back to life. Another trip I was using the Whitson Northern Caminos guidebook, and lost the book. Luckily, had the Kindle version on my phone.

Thanks I will order the paper guide today, it will also be part of the pleasure of the preparation.

I have the Cicerone: Camino del Norte and Camino Primitivo. Plus, I use the Wise Pilgrim companion App and also Gronze.com is a great resource. Paper guides usually have the most information about alternative routes.

I used Dave Whitsen's book along with wise pilgrim, and other digital sources but found the website gronze.com to be my go to.

If you are interested in taking any of the wonderful coastal alternatives that get you off the asphalt side of the national highway and put you on a dirt path along the coast, use Wise Pilgrim. Other guides may also do this, but I know that Michael includes clear instructions and maps for those alternatives.

thanks I am for sure really interested in the coastal alternatives and my paper copy of the W Pilgrim is on it‘s way now, just hoping that the sky will be fairly clear of the 19.
