Stayed in VIllamayor last night. Left behind a blue towel. My name is written all over it. McBrayer. I am in Logroño this evening. In the hostel by the cathedral. If someone should catch up to me and have it with them I would be most grateful. I am a very slow walker. I am old and tired. 440-590-1545 if you care to send a text message. That is a USA phone number.

Good luck. You can replace it at a "China store" for a pittance. It probably has joined my two towels, three clothes lines, six shirts, two pants, and neckerchief as detritus from the Camino!

I believe that there is a Decathlon store in Logroño. You will need to take a taxi or bus to get there. They have lightweight camp towels. The towels at "China stores" will likely be too heavy.

I left behind my towel last year in Castrojerez and surprisingly in the next village the following night, small towels were provided for use at the private albergue we stayed in. I asked if the owner would sell one to me, so he suggested 5 euro. It was a little bulky, but it got me through to Santiago!

We lost one bra, three socks (really - how is that possible) one light plastic mug, a pack cover (but found that again a few days later- how can you lose a fluoro yellow item) and a knife.
All I can say is thanks heavens for China shops. Although the one in Estella had a small bitey beagle guarding the door, and we had to be persistent to get inside. The owner seemed quite happy for him to growl and snap at us.

Agree, and I also wanted to suggest buying an absorbent scarf instead.
After my first Camino I gave up the REI towel and now only use scarves.
The whole family uses them!

Buy a cheap dish towel.
