I used a shemagh on the Camino Frances last fall - dries fast and light weight. Multi use as I wore it daily and used it for ground cover, shade, a sling to elevate feet from the upper bunk - the list goes on.

Greetings - My trip has been postponed two weeks due to injury. I now leave mid September for the Camino Frances starting at SJPP
