Hi everyone. I come to the Camino with a very heavy heart after fleeing my home due to the war in Israel. :( I didn’t know where else to go, and have found myself here, as I’ve walked the Camino a few times, so it’s a comfort for me.

I hoped to buy a backpack & warm coat today, but am realizing everything is closed. I arrive in SJPP in a few hours - does anyone know if anything is open or if any albergues have a donated/used pile of equipment I may be able to use to start walking tomorrow?

I’m hoping there will be something and am immensely grateful for any help/insight anyone can offer after such an unthinkable week. Peace to everyone.

Decathlon in Bayonne will be open today til 14:00, the pilgrim boutique in SJPDP will be open till 19:30 (but more expensive). You could ask at the pilgrims office in St.Jean as well, but i would guess the chances for donated equipment will be quite low at the starting point. Maybe better luck at Roncesvalles.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

May the Camino be a blessing and a balm for the heart, @mfmarotto . Such heartbreaking times.

And I hope you find what you need!
