Altus ANDES 400 H30 sleeping bag
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,-
Your pictures bring back happy memories. So glad it has survived. Have fun.
 
Stayed in Triana twice. It looks like they have converted the room from a 2 bunk bed dormatory to a single or maybe they always had singles.

Enjoy your birthday in Sevilla!
 
More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
buen camino and be careful of the heat. I booked with them a while ago then they cancelled my reservation. Booked at Hostel One Cathedral. It looks really nice too. When Triana opened up again I was going to cancel at Hostel One and rebook. Then I noticed I could not cancel so maybe next time.
 
Camino Way markers in Bronze
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.
Staring VDLP on 01 Oct so will follow your blog with interest! Especially the accommodation part! Have booked the Triana on strength of recommendations here.
All…for future reference some great day trips from Seville for those that have time. Granada, Cordoba, Cadiz.

I was there a few years ago. I love the VDLP. More contemplative than the CF. Buen camino.
