Can anyone recommend a bookstore in Santiago where I will be able to pick up a book in Galego? Specifically, Bernard Atxaga's Obabakoak, but I'd like to browse as well. Thanks.

3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Start with my favorite, "Librería San Pablo", Rúa do Vilar, 37, they have a grand selection of books many concerning the Camino and if they don't have what you are looking for they will certainly assist your search. I purchased there "Selected Poems" Rosalía de Castro an edition with Galician/Spanish facing the English translation and a book on one of my favorite places in SdC "The Mercado de Abastos" with a text in both Galego Spanish and English.

Thank you. The postage costs more than the book, but it's good to have an option if I can't find a local copy.

No sweat no strain!

Obabakoak, - AbeBooks

OBABAKOAK by ATXAGA, BERNARDO and a great selection of related books, art and collectibles available now at AbeBooks.com.

The department store El Corte Inglés in Santiago (and other Spanish cities) also has an extensive bookshop. And I would try Follas Novas as well!

The original language of Obabakoak is Euskera but I understood from your post that you want it in Galego. It is an unusual request.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Sorry, I misspoke--wrong author/part of the Camino! But I do want to pick it up in Spain, in the original.
