Ice pack

Hi everyone,

Given my bag will be transported daily I'm contemplating bringing my own ice pack. Has anyone done this before? Will they allow me to use their freezer? Alternatively, I'm thinking of bringing a bunch of instant ice packs.

Any thoughts?

Thanks again,
Sonia
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Take some sturdy Ziplok bags, and ask for ice at bars (if you are using the ice packs for therapy). Glace in French, hielo in Spanish. Disposable ice packs are heavy and expensive, so they won't work very well.

Thanks again for the advice Falc. I think I'll opt to ask the guys at the bar for ice.
