    First Time in Spain

    Rucksack

    Hi, I made my first Camino, a part of the French Way, last September. I bought a 38 l Deuter backbag and that was just enough for me. 35-38 l is nearly the same. No need to carry extra clothes or things. Most important was how easy it was in use- enough pockets to keep water, maps and...

I think silence is also essential part of spiritual existence -it gives...
