Contact Lens Solution

Camino Frances to Fisterra and Muxia May-June 2017
Is contact lens solution for soft contacts readily available along the Camino Frances? In trying to find out, I've gotten conflicting information about where to find it and how easy it is to get it. While I won't walk into a wall when not wearing my contacts, they're enough of a necessity that I'll bring enough solution to last me the whole time if I need to.

Thanks!
 
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.

Hi!
I took some solution for my soft contacts with (for at least the first 2 weeks) and had no trouble finding lens solutions in the bigger cities and farmacias along the way on the Camino Frances. It is easily available and often comes in very handy traveling size. The farmacias in the bigger cities ( Pamplona, Astorga, Burgos etc) are very helpful and even if you dont speak Spanish, you will be able to find your lens solution. Start the Camino with a small travel size bottle from home and then buy when you run out. Buen camino!
 
I also had no trouble finding solution on the Way...I bought some out in Muxia. It is a bit more expensive than what I spend in the US, however, but the sizes available work well in a pack....so no worries.

Awesome, thanks. This echos more or less what I had read--not available everywhere, and a little more expensive that in the US, but not a problem to find.
 
I used daily disposables one year - not very green but convenient.
