Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Well, it does say that captions are provided by the contributors. Maybe you could compare all the photos under that heading to see what the common features are. Are you thinking of buying the photo, or are you just looking for puzzles?

I was just looking for pictures of the monastery of Santa María la Real.
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
I believe the prune is a mistranslation of palm tree.
The translator must have confused a palm tree with a plum tree; both words are four letters long, three of which are identical and in the same order.
The English plum tree is ciruelo in Spanish.
Ciruela is Spanish for the fruit, plum.
The English prune is ciruela pasa in Spanish.

BTW, I think your questions about the three Blancas at the monastery has been solved.

In Spanish " pruno" is another word for "ciruelo" but is only used for the red one.

Thanks, Rick. I'm no arborist, horticulturalist, or botanist, but I think it is hard to confuse a plum tree with a palm tree. I think most people could recognise a "palm tree" – there must be dozens (2600 according to Google) of different types, but they all have palm-like leaves (I suppose). Whereas I wouldn't know a plum tree if one got up and bit me! Nevertheless, I appreciate your thinking. And thanks for the link to my other question.
