I wish to make it perfectly clear that I personally am in no way professionally, through business or family in any way connected to the company I am about to mention, rather I am a very satisfied customer, satisfied both from service and delivery who wishes to pass on a good tip. Many are aware of the great advantages of Merino Wool, probably the best natural fibers for insolation and keeping the chill out. Many are also aware of the great cost clothing made from merino entails and shy off. I have purchased several items from a company called New Zealand Nature based, yes you guessed right, in New Zealand. They have an online catalogue, a wide choice from underclothing tops and bottoms, shirts, over shirts socks (great for those who go to sleep in their sleeping bags only to wake up 3 hours later curled into a foetal position) in many colors. Now, that’s no news, there are more sheep in New Zealand than there are people – however – it is now summer in New Zealand -well, what passes for summer in New Zealand - and they are having a Great Sale! Made cheaper since those of us living outside the antipodes do not pay sales tax!! Great reduced prices on wonderful items. Delivery to Israel is 1 week! Here is there address, give them a look.

Thanks Scruffy, good link. I used merino garments on the camino and found it great. Easy to wash, dry and good in both heat and cold. Its can be expensive but worth it.
 
Go n-éirí an bóthar leat
Go raibh an ghaoth go brách ag do chúl
Go lonraí an ghrian go te ar d'aghaidh
Go dtite an bháisteach go mín ar do pháirceanna
Agus go mbuailimid le chéile arís,
Go gcoinní Dia i mbos A láimhe thú

A Gaelic manner of saying Buen Camino, though as in all things Irish-rather more intense.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
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.
Of course you are merely a satisfied customer with no links to this company. :wink: That's 'perfectly clear'. :D
