Aug/Sept Camino

[jolshoffers]

Hi all!

I'm doing the Portuguese Coastal Camino at the end of August to beginning of September. I'm currently trying to compile an equipment list.
Is there anything you'd recommend taking?
I have a pair of shorts that have two layers to them - will this be too warm to wear?
Thanks!

I have no idea about your shorts, but potentially you could be looking at temperatures easily in the mid-thirties.

@jolshoffers , only you can answer that question but the point from @davejsy is absolutely spot on. None of us can predict the weather however it is normally pretty darn warm during that period.

You must have seen this mantra repeated on the forum many times by now: layers.

Make sure you've got something to cover the expected spectrum, starting with something very lightweight. Lightweight shorts, thin Merino or quality synthetic t-shirt, a long sleeve shirt, hat, and rain gear as the very minimum.

There are many, many packing lists here on the forum or on YouTube that matter.
Enjoy researching!

I hope to hand out your Compostela certificate at the end of your caminho.
I will be volunteering at the Pilgrims Office by then , Deo Volente .
See you and bom caminho
