Hi all.
Does anyone know if/where I can pick up a shell for my backpack in Villafranca del Bierzo?
I've never started halfway alone a route before and will need two of them.
Sybil (mum) keeps all mine on her wall and will be sad if I don't bring her one back

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,-
andywild,
Try the tourist office or any of the many albergues/hostels in Villafranca del Bierzo for a shell to buy. Also there is a large town center with several shops selling souvenirs.
Good luck and Buen camino.
