annette zarb reacted to Tandem Graham's post in the thread Backpack is 2 kg too heavy TwT with

annette zarb reacted to Peto's post in the thread Bag transport with Correos (Spanish postal system) for 2024 with Like.

The place to go to is the Mercado de Abastos. On our recent Camino we bought a decent amount of chorizo and jamon. Also cheeses available. Different stalls. I always follow the locals and see which stall / seller they prefer...

Looks like a good solution. One tip. I find those type of straps, can move around (rotate around) your pack strap, and I ended up with the umbrella shaft up against my head. A really simple solution was to sew that clip to the pack strap. I use...
