Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
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.

€83,-
Oh what tragic news!
My thoughts and prayers as well.
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
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,-
Caught a report on the evening news in Australia. Unfortunately most of the news that we get of Spain here is when such a tragedy occurs.

I echo @SabineP with thoughts of all those involved in the crash and their families and friends and especially pay tribute to the first responders whose job it is to deal with these emergencies.

I will sit with a candle and a prayer tonight.
 
Very sad news.

I am reading that there has been a train crash and at least 4 casualties in Galicia. A train bound for Porto.

I hope everyone who has travelled in the wonderful northern provinces has a prayer or good wishes for those affected, and that peregrinos to Compostela check in with their families and reassure them.

What else can one say?

There was a crash in 2013, wasn't there? Clearly something must be done, vis-á-vis the state of the railway in Galicia.

Thank you for posting, as from the reports many were either just finished or starting there Camino.
 
Oh, dear...again.
Heartfelt prayers for the families who have suddenly lost loved ones.
And for all those who were on the train and sustained injuries--may you heal well and quickly, and continue on your journey safely.
 
Such shocking news..... ! Poor victims and their families...!! This route seems to be popular with pilgrims as when we were in Santiago, quite a number of people headed to Porto for a break. Such a terrible thing to happen!

I took that train back in June. Seems unimaginable that would happen. Thoughts with those affected.
