Camino Frances (starting May 20, 2013)
My wife and I just returned from our first 11 days on the Camino Francés, and I've posted a summary on our blog of what gear worked and what didn't. There are as many opinions on what to take with you as there are people you can ask, but maybe this will help someone in their planning.

Enjoy!

Cheers Alex
