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,-

They look like nomadic rain shelters, or perhaps I should mention that they look like giant, vertical anatomy (I'll let you fill in that 'gap') :D

When I saw them in 2011, I thought they were an art installation. I think there was a sign.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

My guess is : Really old, ultra vintage, chestnut tree trunks hollowed out either naturally with age or as shelters for pilgrims from the strong winds/rain. Well, I've seen old tree trunks similar to these before and used as temporary shelters.
 
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.

I walked past them in June of this year , I also assumed they were part of an art installation .
The unfortunate reality is that there is one with an opening large enough to admit a human , this had been used as a toilet time and time again :eek:
 
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,-
Apparently they are by a local sculptor names Jose Diaz Fuentes (born in Sarria 1940, died in Paris in 2010). These two pieces were originally part of a larger installation commissioned for an interior courtyard in Monterosso Italy. (I take no credit for the attached pics!)
