For Sale/Wanted Used backpacks

Hi - I'll be back in Santiago either today or tomorrow. I want to either trade in my pack if possible or give it away - it's a front opening one, zip all the way around, frame, in reasonable condition, needs a few zip repairs. I want a smaller one as I'll be here for another 2 months.

Is there anywhere in Santiago where people leave backpacks they no longer want? Or somewhere to buy second hand ones? Alternatively, where's the best place to buy a new one?

Muchas gracias, Karen

Just saw this...yes, @dreampainter feel free to come by during our opening hours and donate your pack. Occasionally we have packs that other pilgrims have left as well, and you'd be welcome to look through anything that's there.

If you're still in Santiago, we'll be open tomorrow (Thursday), Friday, and Saturday from 10am - 4pm. Maybe see you then!

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Not to hijack this thread TOO much...flying into Madrid on Sunday, am checking mailing tube for my poles, anywhere in MAD or Atocha Stn that I might drop off the tube? Or just toss and not worry about it?
