As regards apps, you might want to add the Mapy.cz app, especially if you are walking alone. Using the outdoor map, you will see the entire camino. Additionally, you can download the map of Spain, so you don't need wifi for real time navigation.Hello beautiful community; I’m starting my camino in exactly 7 days (May 8 - June 21 = 45 days)
I’ll be doing FRANCES + SALVADOR + PRIMITIVO .
Here’s my final packing list (excluding basic toiletries); I would love to check if i’m MISSING some essentials, if I’m bringing EXTRA useless stuff that I should LEAVE at home and any final suggestions. I would appreciate your wise experience
ESSENTIALS
- Passport + ID
- Driving License
- Insurance printed info
- 2 Credit, 2 Debit Cards
CLOTHES
- 1 Columbia rain jacket
- 1 100% merino wool sweater
- 1 Light hiking pants
- 1 Capri Leggings (double as pyjamas)
- 1 Short (double as pyjamas)
- 2 sport bras
- 3 Underwear
- 3 merino wool socks (cushioning: 1 light, 1 medium, 1 ultra light; planning the double sock approach, using the ultra light ones + another pair)
- 2 long sleeved shirts for walking
1 light tank top or similar for sleeping/evenings/city
- Chaco sandals (evenings + walking when too hot or feet tired of sneakers)
- altra lone peak sneakers
- Buff SPF
DOUBTS:
- Should I bring an additional light shirt for evenings/sleeping/city ? I’m mostly inclined to yes, bring it.
- Should I bring a bikini ? (is it even worth it in my camino?)
- I have an additional small microfiber hand towel, should I bring it for drying my feet during the walk breaks ?
First Aid
- Nail clipper
- Bandaids (joints and fingers, compeed and regular)
- Needle
- Leukoplast
- Vaseline
- Microdacyn (antiseptic spray 60ml)
DOUBTS:
Do I really need this: (if yes, what for? Leukoplast tears easily)
- Tweezers
- Small scissors
- Polysporin
Accessories
- Phone + charger
- External Battery + cable
- Europe adapter
- waist pack
- Wide Hat
- sunglasses
- Carabiners
- Hair ties
- sleeping mask
- Sarong (use as towel)
- 1 insulated water bottle 500 ml (I NEED cold water)
- 1 vapur bottle (700ml, ultra compact and light)
DOUBTS: Do I really need:
- Clothes line and pins?
Things I’ll buy there if I find I DO need them:
A second pair of shoes is a luxury that you can do without.
Trekking poles Head Lamp
GENERAL QUESTIONS:
My dad is suggesting I bring a second pair of shoes, so I can use one per day and switch the next day; I say is too much weight (and I haven’t seen anyone else doing that so…) my quick answer is no, but would like to hear some opinions.
Apps I have: Strava for recording my walks, Buen camino App, Camino Ninja, Gronze maps.
I also have WIKILOC, but I'm not sure if I should pay for the premium version, do you recommend? This app I'm mainly interested in the beeping sound it makes if you leave the path (I think I understood it does that) Does it actually do that? Do I need premium for that?
The first two days I will have no e sim, since I will get a physical one when getting to Pamplona, they have better packages and I'm on a 85 days total trip in Europe.
I hope I'm not forgetting any more questions!
THANKS EVERYONE
Yes!! after research and help from everyone in the group, I realized you definitely need a sleeping bag liner, so mine is already bought! Forgot to add it on the list though!Adding to the chorus for at least a sleeping bag liner. I stayed in private rooms in albergues that provide bedding but some places looked kinda sketchy so I slept in my liner on top. They are lightweight and don’t take up a lot of room, so worth it!
Thank you! Yes I realized if I bring "nice" tops, I can wear them as an evening outfitI'm someone who weighs everything so I would obviously advise to weigh your backpack before you make any changes!
Mind that the toiletries/first aid stuff usually end up weighing quite a bit even if you take the minimum...
Imo, you don't need an extra shirt (you already have 2 + a tank top) nor do you need an extra towel (You have one + the sarong).
No to a second pair of walking shoes, you have the sandals.
What I don't see on your list is a sleeping bag or liner . You'll need something if you plan to stay in albergues.
Also take sun cream (or buy it in Spain).
If the weight of your bag is quite low, then I'd bring the bikini. Otherwise, what @trecile said!
Buen camino!
The weather on the Camino Frances, Galicia area, has been very wet and cold the past 10 days & since we reached Santiago. Definitely a rain poncho was worn everyday. You can buy them along the route...Hello beautiful community; I’m starting my camino in exactly 7 days (May 8 - June 21 = 45 days)

Fixed that for you.The weather on the Camino Frances, Galicia area, has been very wet and cold the past 10dayscenturies
Thank you! I will try an buy them at decathlon in Bordeaux, which is my last stop before SJPDP. (I would also use them on el salvador; which I read is tough) but I think it's worth the 15 euros investment, so I might as well get them from the beginning.No need for an additional pair of shoes - your altras and Chacos will be sufficient (I only bring Chacos with me, for everything).
One thing about waiting to see if you need trekking poles, some of the hardest sections and that where it's most beneficial to have poles (for the downhill) are at the very beginning so you might find you need them but are unable to get them until reaching Pamplona.
I have in SJPDP, roncesvalles, and Zubiri, hopefully will get a bed in Pamplona, and after that I will evaluate if I make reservations or just hope for the best in the albergues (also depending on my walking speed)Have you made reservations in the bottleneck? All beds were full last night in SJPP and today in Roncesvalles
Do post about your experience on the Salvador - I will be walking that in July and would love to hear how it goes for you.Thank you!
