I don't know about you, but I like to wear clean clothes every day, especially underwear. If you expect to buy a new T-shirt, socks, etc. every day, I don't think you will find them being sold in every place along the Camino. Perhaps every two or three days you may find a place to buy clothing. Further, they are not going to be open early in the morning for you to get fresh clothes. So you will have to go shopping at night when there are plenty of other things to do.<BR>

Also, don't you think it is extravagant and wasteful to get rid of clothes, even if you give them away, all the time? My advice is to have one lightweight change of clothes and to be prepared to wash your dirty clothes especially socks every night. That's what everyone seems to do. Even people who never do their own laundry at home get into the rhythm of washing their clothes.<BR>
