News

User mikeltxo (Mikel from http://www.tagzania.com ) is doing the Camino Francés by bike from Roncesvalles/Orreaga to Santiago. Departing on Friday, October 9. I'll try to map villages, towns and POIs for pilgrims.

The Map

You can see the map here : http://osm.org/go/b@Lcv?layers=00B0FTF

But in fact, the most part of the Spanish road is mapped under the hiking Camino de Santiago. It must be imported here.
