Oh yes gloves i have! forgot to add!It looks good to me.
I don't understand what the softshell and laundry sheets are for though?
All albergues/hostals have pillows, I don't think you need to bring one. Use your clothes in a dry sack if you need it.
As for medicines/supplements, you may be able to get them over the counter in Spain... ? I'd check.
I don't think you'll need the shorts either, but that's just me!
The backpack for walking in town could be replaced by a store plastic bag, since you already have a bum bag?
I was very cold in the mornings walking in September, I wished I had brought gloves. Socks worked ok but not that great!
Don't bother with the laundry sheets, (although they probably weigh nothing lol), if you use a 'lavanderia' the soap is included.Oh yes gloves i have! forgot to add!
I initially thought i would just hike in my shorts, also since i dont really bring a rainpant, they weigh nothing (runners version), its better if its so cold i cant wear them lol, the wintertights are way heavier so better to wear.
the laundry sheets are for a machine wash 1x per week. the softshell is my jacket.
Thank you for reviewing!
I bring laundry sheets for hand washing my clothes, but the detergent is usually provided for albergue washing machines.the laundry sheets are for a machine wash 1x per week.
Headlamp with red light in order to let the other sleep when you'll start early.Did i miss anything? Do i bring way too much?
The heavier you choose it, the better relief you'll feel at the Cruz de Ferro...Small rock to leave at the Iron Cross - if you have anything you would want to unburden yourself with in life..
Did ALL have blankets? I read a lot that don't.I've just finished the Camino Frances and am writing this from Santiago. Bring or get some walking sticks. They really helped. And blankets are provided by the albergues so you don't really need to bring one. If it gets really cold, just wear all your layers to bed.
No, all albergues do not provide blankets. You can find some which do not have.Did ALL have blankets? I read a lot that don't.
Thank you, my thoughts exactly. Being comfy under my blanket, also when I sit in the afternoon after a bad weather day is worth a lot!No, all albergues do not provide blankets. You can find some which do not have.
Furthermore, it is not a good idea to sleep with your day clothes.
Forget the stone and bring a blanket or a sleeping bag.
Great list, overall! Also, remember that your packing list is not definitive: you can always donate or ship back home things you don't need, and buy whatever you forgot. You'll be fine.Thanks all!
Headlamp I forgot to mention, it's packed. I'll attach a red light to backpack too. I'll put a garbage bag inside as a liner.
I have all in ziplocks and will leave the supplements behind apart from the medically prescribed abut will take my chances of getting B12 halfway at a pharmacy.
I've been worried I packed too much clothes, but if it's no short plus t weather which it won't most part of walking I don't think I have too much.
I usually sleep in boxer and t too but no idea how cold it will be. Also no idea If I can use the flat pillows lol. I guess I'll find out! Otherwise I'm sure I can buy an inflatable one for extra height.
I've been debating between doen puffy and my softshell fleece lined. I don't own anything else. I always use my softshell at home, owned the puffy for 8 yearsand never worn... It can be this was its purpose but I feel less comfy with it. It may be the better choice though.
Most, but not all albergues have blankets.Did ALL have blankets? I read a lot that don't.
Why? It's quite common for pilgrims to sleep in their next day's clothes.Furthermore, it is not a good idea to sleep with your day clothes.
Ty!!!Great list, overall! Also, remember that your packing list is not definitive: you can always donate or ship back home things you don't need, and buy whatever you forgot. You'll be fine.
Yes, you'll be able to get the supplements over the counter at any pharmacy in Spain without a prescription. (I don't know about the dosage in this case. I think higher dosages may need a prescription). Decathlon has them as well, and even some supermarkets.
The only thing that caught my eye is the small backpack. I took a lightweight tote bag with me (the ones you can fold into a tiny square), and sometimes the same plastic bag they'll offer at the grocery store are super convenient as well to store any wet items or trash until you find a bin.
I didn't see any blister care items in your list (needle, antiseptic spray or similar, surgical tape, blister plasters). This is the type of just-in-case items that are worth their weight I think.
I like to be comfy and wear chill clothes after, something else for a bit, but if people can do it and be comfy that's great for them!Most, but not all albergues have blankets.

You can buy an antisespic spray in any farmacia once in Spain.Ty!!!
Yes it was a tiny foldable decathlon 10l backpack 50gr orso, I thought in case I need to ship my pack a day I can use that but I'll prob stick with the tote too. It doesn't really matter.
Blister care yes, I put some sports tape in now and two compeed just in case now. I'm mostly a Vaseline person, needles I carry enough for my B12 shots. I'll add some antiseptic! Ty!
I hope it’s not just me, but I can live with it if it is.Why? It's quite common for pilgrims to sleep in their next day's clothes.
Should be compulsory for all pilgrimsdefecating into a plastic bag
Municipal and parochial albergues usually have no blankets.Did ALL have blankets? I read a lot that don't.
