Hello all,
I'm currently stopping for the night in Zarequiegui and find that my trusty old rucksack (a veteran of 5 Caminos and now on a 6th!) is on the verge of falling apart.
So, I think I need to replace it. I will be walking through Puente la Reina tomorrow morning and, if memory serves, it's a reasonably-sized town. That being the case, I'm wondering if there might be a hiking or outdoors store there or just anywhere that might sell rucksacks? I'd rather not wait until Burgos if I can replace it sooner. Aside from anything else, the current rucksack may not make it that far.
Thanks in advance,
Mark
Sorry to hear Mark. From what I just searched nothing much in Puente la Reina but there are Decathlon stores in Estella and in Logroño further on! Good luck!!
Planeta Agua is a chain of outdoor stores that are in a few Camino locations. There's a small one in Zubiri and there's one in Logrono.In 2015 I picked up a sleeping bag at a shop in Viana on the camino on the right just before the church. I'm having trouble remembering the name. Planet Agua?
You mean you have a problem that duct tape can't solve?

Close, but it should read duct tape is like The Force.Duct Tape is like Star Wars...

As others have suggested, Logroño is the next location with a Decathlon sports department store. Check out www.decathlon.es.
As they are usually located in an industrial area outside the old town, ask at the local TI about a bus, or take a taxi.
Failing that option, and depending on the nature of the wound to your rucksack, find a local shoemaker who can stitch it for you. I think they are called zapaterías (maker of shoes).
These fellows typically have a "free arm" sewing machine that can reach into odd places to sew seams. That is how I have my rucksack repaired at home between Camino's.
I hope this helps.
Finally found the place. The website has maps that should work for you but aren't pinning the location on them for me because of my ancient browser.That might be just the thing. In Sansol tonight. Started at Lorca at an unseemly hour (trying to beat the heat) and so passed through Estella too early to check anywhere. Going for a later start tomorrow, so Viana may well do the trick.
Thanks for that!
