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.

€46,-
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.
Hi Allan. You forget New Year Eve (Noche Vieja)
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc

I'm sorry.... I wish to throw in my two red cents. Xmas means nothing to me. CHRISTmas does. Meaning Christ does NOT equal X. Yes, am planning to be there too (hopefully) and if St. James decides I ought to be there.... I certainly will
 
To Purplesage- Sorry.
I edited my message.
Being Jewish I am not that familiar with these religiouse dates especially in Spain.
Shall I plan to arrive on December 30th or January 5th?
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
