occasion the popularization of the Camino de Santiago and to harness the pull of the Year Jacobean several publishers have rushed to publish guides Camino de Santiago. Apart from the updates of existing guidelines that preserve the layout of the foregoing, there have been some that might be interesting for someone to dash to make the journey by bicycle.
To be honest, I must clarify that I have no field experience (I have not used in the preparation or "en route") of any of those named. I base my opinion on my experience with other guides and the years that I worked on the Library Slope. Needless to say that all assessment is very subjective and it is best to go near a bookstore to see them with your own eyes, adapting the choice to your preferences.

which has motivated me to write this entry. More than a guide "to use" is a guide map (-1/75.000- fairly detailed, with the UTM grid for use with GPS, and including highways and roads on the environment) with a format (small x23 -12.5 cm, and spiral binding) very comfortable.

What the difference is detailed and comprehensive description of the route and possible alternatives aimed at cyclists, with emphasis on information useful to them (stretches of asphalt, soil, significant increases, more rocky and difficult, dangerous or trialeras downs , etc.). Thus everyone can organize your tour according to their motivations, from the sports to the more relaxed, the time available or the amount of trail you want to tread. It adds enhancements in detail the route of the road in cities and small towns.
organizes the tour in 13 stages from Roncesvalles to Santiago also including the extension to Finisterre and Muxía. The stages are: Roncesvalles, Pamplona-Estella-Logroño-Santo Domingo de la Calzada, Burgos, León Fromista-Sahagun-Rabanal del Camino-Villafranca del Bierzo-Triacastela-Melide-Santiago. Stages affordable for the vast majority of bikers.
Practical information (shelters and other places) is fairly complete, but is missing some cultural or historical information on places to visit, but if you are indicated on the map. Within the practical information also includes data on stores and bicycle shops, and shelters that have a place to store bikes.

- Camino de Santiago on MTB . Editorial Vertical.
Another good option Camino de Santiago Guide beteteros oriented. It's about time there was a guide for mountain biking. Possibly the best and most complete guide to tackle the mountain bike path.
The text includes a good description of the route, where the review appears difficult sections of the sticking points, as an attractive cultural and historical information (legends, monuments and other attractions.) At the end is a detailed list of lodging and accommodations.
maps are supplemented by a diagram of each stage. Weakness in other guides from the same publisher, in this case are well made. It features: the kilometric distances between points, the services that we encounter en route, the type of terrain that is traversed (path, track or asphalt), which is very welcome, and some interesting variants. You can see an example of design in the web of the Slope Editorial .
Organiza el recorrido en 11 etapas para el recorrido Roncesvalles-Santiago. Las etapas son: Roncesvalles-Puente la Reina-Logroño-Belorado-Castrojeriz-Sahagún-Villadangos del Páramo-Rabanal del Camino-Villafranca del Bierzo-Sarria-Melide-Santiago. Para mi gusto un poco "exigente" pero al alcance de mucha gente. Un punto muy positivo es que incluye las etapas: Saint Jean Pièd de Port-Roncesvalles (si se quiere comenzar en Francia subiendo el Puerto de Ibañeta, muy recomendable) y Santiago-Fisterra (para terminar en ese lugar emblemático). Incluye el Camino Aragonés (Somport-Puente la Reina, dividido en dos etapas).
Su autor, Juan Menedez Granados , is passionate about cycling and account history with impressive trip.

is the updating of a guide rather old, but the feeling has not changed greatly (it seems only practical data have been updated but is essentially the same.) Primarily directed at the road bike.

Who much covers slightly tightened. It describes, for pilgrims on foot and by bike, both the French Way (Saint Jean Pied de Port to Santiago, including the variant from Jaca Aragon) and the Via de la Plata (Sevilla-James by the variant Sanabria). This causes the information of each stage is low. The routes described are more oriented to the road bike. Curious as general information but not recommended as a reference guide on tour.
In any case, as I said in a previous post, the best ever French route signage makes the guide is a supplement to our trip. Allows organizing stages, reports of the difficulties we will find, review notes and evocative places and helps us in cases of doubt.
