The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

I need some new socks and some warm gloves and maybe another warm top. Can anyone recommend where to get such pilgrim supplies in the center of León?
Yes! Try Castro's. One store is close to the cathedral, the other just a little further out. I was there today before siesta.

Thanks! I was there today as well—they are great! They actually talked me out of getting any more gear…thought I was fine with what I have for what lies ahead…I have enormous respect for that approach to business. They now have a new raving fan even though they did not sell me anything!

Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

My feelings about Caminoteca in Pamplona for much the same reason.
