Salamanca credencial

I'd advise people not to get their credential from Salamanca.

At first glance it appear clever, but each box has the name of a stage. If you deviate from their suggested stages, split stages (as i did with today's 35km stage) or double up you'll end up with blank boxes and/or no place for the stamp.

Their solution is the reverse side has a large blank page for "other stamps" although I usually asked albergues to stamp a blank area on the front or just stamp a wrong box.

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,-
I got one of these a few years ago. It ended up being a mess. They're trying to reinvent the wheel and they should really leave it alone.
