Useful Docs/Compiled Information

[Katie Gallegos]

Hola listeros,

Español:
He adjuntado un par de documentos con información que quizás les pueda servir a los que intentan hacer el camino del norte. Hice el camino francés el año pasado y voy a volver a España este verano para hacer el norte en su totalidad. He reunido esta información de diferentes sitios Web y también por recopilar los comentarios de otros listeros de este excelente foro de Internet. Favor de notar que esta información no viene de ninguna guía "oficial" del Camino y no pretendo comprobar su exactitud. No obstante, espero que os sirva.

English:
I've attached a few documents that might be useful to those who are hiking the Camino del Norte. Last summer I hiked the Camino francés and this summer I'm returning to Spain to hike the Norte. This info I've compiled by researching different sites, including aggregating the comments from other members of this excellent message board. Please note that this information does not come from any official Camino guidebook. Hope you find it helpful!
