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.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
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.

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.
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
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.

€46,-

No sweat no strain!
 
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!
 
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.

€83,-
Sorry, I misspoke--wrong author/part of the Camino! But I do want to pick it up in Spain, in the original.
