If I were to buy a backpack for my next camino, I would buy an Osprey Exos 48 liter backpack. The women's version is the Eja 48. It's got more than enough room for everything I would need, plus I could use it for weekend backpacking trips in the...
I'd say that 12-15 miles (20-24 km) is more average. And start trying to think in kilometers, since that's what every pilgrim that you meet from outside the US plus sites like Gronze.com and guidebooks will be using.

From Lisbon, you have three choices (at least). The so-called coastal route, which really doesn’t spend much time on the coast at all, and goes through Sintra. We have a sub-forum on that route here...
