Wanderführer Camino de Santiago (engl.)

26.07.2009

I take the liberty to write you about your booklet "Camino de Santiago - way of St. James from the Pyrenees to Santiago", 1st edition 2007 which I have owned since 2007. It is a brilliant booklet, very informative with lots of information about the different stages, and it has become one of my steady companions over the past two years.
However, on my recent walk on the Camino in may I have discovered one minor misinformation in the map of stage 3, Larrasoaña-Cizur Menor: Just outside of Pamplona you're showing the Camino moving from Arleta to Trinidad de Arre, where it crosses the river, but it is not so. From Arleta you have to move further south before you move on to Villava, where you will find the medieval bridge crossing the river Arre. You will find this clearly depicted in Google Maps.

On my recent walk with my youngest son we met a young german woman also using your booklet in a newer edition, which was good, because she had more recent information about the albergues along the way. Maybe I need to buy myself a new copy before I set out on a new walk? Have you considered publishing booklets about the "Camino del Norte" og about the "Via de la Plata"?

Yours sincerely

Dear Madam,

I'm walking the way to Santiago using the guide by Cordula Rabe. Let me congratulate with you for your and her work to start with. Secondly I read that any notification of changes is appreciated. I happened to stop at the albergue in Sansol (Navarra) and became hospitalera for a few days. The information on this albergue that I found in the guide is incorrect, so may I provide you with an update? The albergue is called Albergue de Sansol, it is not parochial but private, and there is place for 14 pilgrims. No meals are provided in the hostel and there is no washing machine. Instead there is a kitchen and room to do one's clothes and hang them to dry. One of the 2 dormitories is on the bottom floor, but that's the only way in which the room is "disabled friendly". Reception opens at 3pm but there's no closing time for pilgrims who checked in (they can come back at any time in the evening - door is not locked).
In terms of services pilgrims in Sansol will also find a bar and a pharmacy. Hope this helps.

Best wishes
