I'm carrying two coats, a cycling coat and a windbreaker. It seems like too much to me, seeing the average weather forecast. What do you guys think? My backpack is weighing 8 kg. Thank you!

Have you worn either of them yet? I don't know what a cycling coat is, but maybe you could just go with that as long as you have a rain coat or poncho in your bag, too. I've worn rain coat and rain pants to keep warm when needed.
 
A guide to speaking Spanish on the Camino - enrich your pilgrim experience.
Do you anticipate needing to wear both at the same time? If not choose one or the other.
Yes, I did it, and it will be more than enough. I will do this, choose one of the. Thanks for you reply!

I have a poncho, so I think one of the coats will be ok. Thanks for the reply!
 
One jacket, like my Marmot Minimalist Pro, can serve as rain-jacket, wind breaker and for warmth with a layer underneath. At 15.5 ounces, it's not too heavy to carry.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
