Suggestions for Spanish Greeting Cards on the Camino

Hi all-Happy New Year!
I plan on finishing my Camino in 2022. I had to stop early due to an injury in 2019. I have a number of friend's and family's birthdays happening while on the Camino and thought it would be fun to send a Spanish greeting card. I realize they are not a big thing there but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to where to look.
I did find a few in a tobacco shop on my last Camino but it was by chance.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi @Karinhi

You may have seen some of Marc Heffner's artworks and products in Santiago. Here is a link to his website where you can buy greeting cards online. They are not the most inexpensive, but I like his work very much - though they may not be to your taste. I usually buy a few of his greeting cards if I see them in SdeC. If you like these you could contact Marc to find out who is stocking his cards in SdeC and possibly elsewhere on the Camino


I came to know Marc after seeing a print of a one of his artworks in an albergue on the Frances in 2013. I took a photo of it and eventually 'tracked him down' and we have had an irregular but continuing correspondence since then. A few years ago he kindly gave me permission to use one of his lovely artworks as the homepage picture on my blog for the Camino de Madrid.

Since I first came in contact with Marc his range of 'merchandise' has expanded considerably - no doubt there is demand for these souvenirs with increase in numbers of pilgrims since that time.

I have a couple of Marc's prints hanging at home now, which he sent here to Australia in a cardboard tube. In my experience, his delivery arrangements and charges for postage are very reasonable.

Best wishes
Jenny

Thanks Jenny
 
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.
