    Buying Backpack in Santiago?

    Is there a place to buy or otherwise get a backpack for the journey to Finisterre ? I am currently in the Camino on a bicycle and would like to walk the portion from Santiago to Finisterre/Muxia. I don't want to buy the backpack before Santiago bc it won't fit on my bike.
