fleece garment for summer Camino

[HungJury]

I will do the Camino Frances from mid June to mid July and will start in Pamplona. Should I take a fleece/cold weather garment?

Yes, even in mid July layering is a good idea.
There are lots of light weight and moderately priced fleeces.

a fleece/cold weather garment?

I suggest that you not think of a "cold weather garment" but as layers to combine when the weather is cold. Then the same layers can be used in appropriate combinations for weather that is hot, warm or cool! Layers might be some type of fleece (there are many), merino wool, down or synthetic equivalent, other fabric, or even your waterproof layer.

You do need to have clothes for cool evenings, for example.

Many churches are cold even when it’s hot outside too

Maybe a long sleeve merino wool T-shirt plus a lightweight windbreaker?

You’re probably going to be OK even with an early start and through the day; but you want something to layer up with in the evening. A light inexpensive fleece would be fine.

As mentioned above, layering is the way to go from morning through evening. In addition to T-shirts and shorts, I always travel with a long sleeved, wicking under layer, a fleece or down vest, and a raincoat. Then, depending on the weather or temperatures, I can mix or match my various garments to afford the most comfort.
