It would be nice knowing more about the history; however, there never is enough hours in the day. My guide has no more than a few words about a site. linda

You have a guide? From the beginning or just a portion of the Camino? Great photos. Phyllis

Great questions. “Pilgrim’s Guides to the Roads through France to Santiago de Compostela” is composed of two thin paperbacks, I. Arles to Toulouse and II. Toulouse to Puente la Reina (Spain). They are published by the Confernity of Saint James. I ordered them from London through their we site. linda
