Hi everyone,

I'm on holiday and decided to walk from Santiago to Muxia. I have all the required gear but didn't come with a backpack. Any thoughts or ideas where I can purchase a secondhand option?

Kind Regards
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-

Maybe check at Pilgrim House in Santiago. Sometimes people leave things there if they don't want to carry them home.
 
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,-
Or you can probably buy an inexpensive backpack at Decathlon. Go to the big store that's a bit outside the city for the best selection.
This Decathlon is at Costa Vella - the bus destination. IIRC bus lines LC5 and LC6 go from downtown to bus stop (parada) number 212 called Eslovenia. The Decathlon is across the street. It is HUGE.

If you take a taxi, ask the drive to take you to take you to Decathlon at Rua de Polonia 2.

Hope this helps.
