Cycling from SDC to Lisbon

Time of past OR future Camino
2019 - Frances & Portugues
July 2022 - Norte
I have rented a bike from BikeIberia to start the Portuguese Camino backwards from SDC on Sept 17. Must arrive in Lisbon by Sept 30 to catch flight home on Oct 1.

BikeIberia is sadly out of Garmins to rent and does not have a route map for this ride. Any advice on a book or maps I can buy so I don’t get lost? Anyone else cycling this way around that time? (we could team up and share rooms). Once the Portuguese route splits just as it enters Portugal I will take the coastal route.

I am currently 2 days from Leon walking on the CF. Plan to go to Finisterre +| - Murcia then bus back to SDC to start my Portuguese Camino.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
We used the Brierley guide (but took the inland route) when we cycled . We were cycling towards SDC tho'..... We cycled the Norte backwards afterwards - which despite having Johnny Walker's excellent guide - we went awry often being 'against' all the signs..... You just have to be much more vigilant about looking behind you for Camino signage...! But being on the coastal route should be easier - just keep the sea on your right....
