Are there lots of opportunities to buy small camino souvenirs to bring back as gifts? They would obviously need to be quite small and light.
Basically I'm wondering:
- are there lots of opportunities to pick up souvenirs along the way?
- what sort of souvenirs tend to be popular?
- can I wait until Santiago to buy camino-related souvenirs, or is it better to pick them up along the way?
Not a serious concern I realize, but there have been plenty of times in the past when I've been traveling around a country, and regretted not purchasing something because I assumed wrongly that I could easily find them anywhere. I do need to bring back a small something for a number of people at work who are covering for me while I'm away. And I'd like to find something a little nicer for my wife and daughter.
