    Have you tried the Lowe Alpine Airzone? I have a short back and this pack is adjustable, very comfortable and has a great hip belt. Depending upon what you are carrying, you might be able to get a smaller one than my (approx.) 30 litre one...

    I haven't ruled out frameless. I'm just noticing that the weight is sitting on my low back right now and I have a myriad of spine and SI concerns to be careful with. I'm still experimenting with using stuff sacks to alter where the weight goes.

    Did the same journey last month. As has been said, train from terminal 4 takes you to Chamartin and is included in some train tickets to Leon. Easy journey with little stress. Good luck!

    Charmartin... You should have no problems but, just be aware that there are major building works going on in and around Charmartin (won't be ready for another 4 or 5 years and is supposed to be the largest station hub in Europe when finished). I...

    If your train offers it and you pay more for the “Premium” ticket or I think the “Elige Confort” with the add-on you can access the lounge at Chamartin. It’s quiet, has free food and drink 🍺 ☕️ 🥤, the departures are on a screen in front of you...
