Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
Poor guy :cry: ...makes me sad that he walked all that way to find the Cathedral closed up. I appreciate the fanaticism that people have for sports like football (soccer), but to CLOSE one of the holiest sites in Christendom because of a GAME?! I know Spanish national pride was in the line, but couldn't a handful of people in SDC have volunteered to miss the game and give this poor peregrino a proper welcome?

De Colores and Buen Camino,

The cathederal wasn't closed, the square is normslly a busy place with many pilgrims, buskers, and street vendors, you often see new arrivals go to the centre of the square and put down their pack and reflect on what they have achieved. It is alsk a place of many pilgrim reunions.
