Hello Clara, welcome to the Forum. JUly and August will be warm so take as little as possible. The sun and heat help drying times so we can take less at the height of summer and wash what we are carrying more often.

If you use the search facility at the top of the page and/or go to to the Camino del Norte section of the forum you will find a lost of posts.

Here are a couple to get you started:

3 tee shirts
1 pair of longpants (that can be converted to short)
