Sew on Patches for rucksacks - where to find them?

Hi all,

I've just finished 18 days (15th July - 1st August / arrived Santiago 31st July) on the Camino del Norte - what a wonderful, exhilarating experience, when can I do it again?! - and was wondering if anyone knows where to get a sew on patch for the Camino.

I looked in Santiago but struggled to find any and I would love to have a memento of my time in Spain for my trusty rucksack, so any feedback would be appreciated. I've done a quick google hunt but to no avail - lots of dead links out there. I saw a few examples on rucksacks on The Way and assumed they would be easy to find in Santiago, but alas! I could find none.

Best wishes, hello to everyone I met (a wonderful bunch of people) and Buen Camino to all!

I have also used patch quartermaster and they do a great job for a very reasonable price
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
I too bought one from quartermaster it is my favorite, bright and pretty.
The owner was a delight to work with and was passionate about the Camino.
 
Here, finally, are the photos of our sew on badges from Santiago. We both have one on our packs. We think they came from either Bazaar de Villar (nos 12 & 13) or Botofumeiro (no1) - both on Rúa do Villar.

Last May I walked the first part of the Norte in the opposite direction, from Santander to Irun. Since I only had two weeks and couldn't reach Santiago anyway, I wanted to swim against the tide...
