Waterproof Tear-Resistant Topographic Maps. The Way of Saint James, known in Spanish as Camino de Santiago - or simply El Camino (The Way) - has been one of Europe's most iconic walking routes since 9th century pilgrims began making their way to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela to venerate the remains of Saint James. Though rooted in Christian tradition, the route has been reborn as a nondenominational spiritual rite and epic long distance trail that runs along Roman roads, across mountains, and through picturesque countryside and historic towns. Each Camino de Santiago Topographic Map Guide includes detailed topographic maps of 2 cm = 1 km. Each page is centered on the trail and overlaps with the adjacent pages so there is little chance of getting lost. Along the bottom of each page is a trail profile that shows the distance between towns, rest houses, and trail access points. The map and trail profile provide a step by step visual guide to hiking the trail. The Map Pack Bundle contains two maps and covers the western Camino Frances (French Way) from Terradillos de los Templarios to the final destination of Santiago de Compostela. This map pack bundle includes the last 100km required to recieve Compostela or completion stamp proving they finished the journey to Santiago de Compostela. The Camino de Santiago West Map Pack includes: -4004 :: Camino de Santiago 3 of 4 [Terradillos de los Templarios to Ponferrada] -4005 :: Camino de Santiago 4 of 4 [Ponferrada to Santiago de Compostela] Every Great Treks map is printed on "Backcountry Tough" waterproof, tear-resistant paper. A full Lat/Long grid is printed on the map to aid with GPS navigation.
